When I've given free stuff away in the past I generally take a look at who wants it and do favour those who engage more with the forum rather than those who lurk around the classifieds hoovering up free stuff. I'd prefer someone to use it themselves rather than take stuff and sell it on. (I also stipulate a forum donation but obviously no way to check whether that happens, I suspect it is more likely with those that engage with the forum more though.)
