I periodically give things away to people who just immediately sell them. I never trust them again, and it's rarely items I directly need, I just like to have them around to loan to people.

It seems like this is endemic on freecycle type groups, such a bummer.

You either give things away or loan them not both. Sucks to hear someone just sold the stuff you were trying to help them with though.
