You are all correct. I was only objecting to the guy asking for first
dibs on the "next" free item. IMHO that sounds very rude.
If that's not rude, then ... well ... I have first dibs on everything from
everyone. :-)

Actually, I
bet it's more like: friends first, then back-scratchers,
That's how I've always done it...
In particular when I have something to give away (often just some
obscure spare part or manual or something like that), I try to find one
of my friends who I know has been looking for that item.
Unfair? Well, maybe. But it's going to somebody who is going to use it,
and anyway, it's my stuff to do what I like with.
