While I also don't like scrapping out things that work or can be 
repaired relatively easily, a saying I use in a variety of situation is 
"don't force your limitations on me, I have enough of my own."

That said, I VERY much appreciate the free pile at VCFMW that allows me 
to get rid of stuff that will go to a good home rather than go to 
landfill or scrap (I DON'T DO EBAY!!!) Many times I find free to be far 
to expensive for most people including myself (think 
postage/shipping/prep time.)
