*rollseyes* I'm a mod for the local Freecycle list, and it's amazing what people have the chutzpah to ask for. Unfortunately as moderator it's actually pretty difficult to say to people, "get a grip, ask for something reasonable!" as quite often we have people offering all sorts of amazing stuff like bikes, skis, an Xbox (albeit broken), a piano and even a car! My brief is basically that if they want to ask for ridiculous stuff like MP3 players or game consoles or whatever, go ahead - they're the ones that look like idiots that just don't get the whole concept of Freecycle, and you find they unsubscribe pretty quickly! But unfortunately that also runs the risk of alienating the decent generous folk on the list so it's hard to find a middle way *sigh*
