These people are not bums, they are communists. These are the same people that want the government to give us free health care (communism). What's next free housing, free cars, free food. Everyone needs to realize that just because it is free to you, means that someone else is paying for it. 
Here in America we pay for what we want.

  If I may add to what you wrote, selling on the list is allowed on the list. 
  So anyone who complains about it is on weak footing. 

  I sell things occasionally it's a service to the Vanagon community. No one 
  except communists or bums expect it for free. even when I have been broke, I 
  chose to go without rather than beg. 
  So, we bring back the meaning of the term bum-a person who is not willing to 
  work for what he wants, and thinks everyone owes him a living, or vanagon 
  parts for free. 

  But the politically correct way of addressing them is now(homeless). My Mom 
  used to warn when I was young-"you don't want to become like the bums on skid 
  road, do you"?Bums! 
  I have got a lot of vanagon stuff free-does that make me a bum? Well, we used 
  to have a junkyard, and stuff was free on the hulked vanagons heading to the 
  crusher...
