A good percentage of Freecyclers are mental basket cases. I got a request today from someone wanting a GPS because theirs was stolen.
I think the 'want' posts, while annoying, are still valid. Case in point. My old GPS was getting touchy and wouldn't hold a charge anymore. I got a new one.
I'd have gladly freecycled the old one if I hadn't given it away already.
Its just a matter of finding the right person at the right time.
