Not really. Looks unprofessional. I recommend you get someone else to proofread it, it's amazing what you can miss while looking over your own writings.
Or you could always just say "anything with a cord or batteries"

Then maybe a list of the few items you WONT accept, probably would be much shorter.
Just my 2 cents.
All of what you see as far as what I take, came directly from the website of the local company. I did that, because just like with
scrap metal, I have a ton of stuff listed there, and yet, I still always get asked "do you take this, that or the other".
Plus, never know if your a client an want to sell to someone and all they will accept is power supplies with the cords, etc.
I do agree that just listing "gaming systems" and not the specific brands, could be done better.

make sure thats 100% true you can get in alot of trouble from the BBB if they find out its not.
Yes this would be 100% true. It would even be discussed with the client, that they need to appoint someone to be on site during the fundraiser to collect all the funds. We would simply handle collecting the items, and placing them on our trucks/trailers.
