Result is I will never donate anything again. Who is the loser?

I once sent
them some rather rare documentation (at the suggestion of
other collectors). I got back a letter with a nasty tone stating they
do not accept unsolicited items. I have no idea what that meant as to
the continued existence of the item. It certainly did not come back
to me.
Why did you not ask them first?
