<p>The FreeBSD Foundation will provide a receipt for delivery of
equipment. They will not, however, provide a fair-market
valuation of the equipment -- in fact, they are forbidden to do

making fair market value hard to judge, we suggest searching on
Ebay or other used equipment sites for prices paid for similar
equipment.</p>
