The purpose of freecycle is to keep stuff out of landfill. It is quite conceivable that someone has a working laptop they no longer use because they've bought themselves a newer model, or their kettle bbq has languished unused in the garage for the last 5 years, and someone asking for one can be the incentive to have a bit of a clear out.
So although I agree it seems rather grasping, strictly speaking I suppose there's no reason why they shouldn't ask.
