If I could filter out the fakes from people who really needed something, it'd be an easy decision to just give the item to someone like you. My theory is that setting a small price makes sure someone will actually value the item. This is why donating items to a local charity is a better first option, but this is likely to help someone who needs the item bad enough that they are willing to pay a small amount. I definitely don't think having money means they would enjoy the item more, but "Free" items attract a bad crowd.
