Is there anything halachicly wrong with reselling (on eBay or wherever) something that someone advertised as a free (ltoeles rabim) giveaway, that you responded to and took?
I don’t see why not,
If you got something for free, then you don’t want it, it’s yours to do whatever you want, including selling it

I don’t really know, but look at it this way: If someone gives you a present, can you sell it? Sure you can. It might, however be different in this specific type of situation because the free item was meant to be given freely to ALL. The inention of the giver might make a difference. I don’t really know. Good ethical question.
why would it?
if the person giving away the freebie changes his mind to sell it he could, he chose not to
:p> mbachur <d:
Why is this issue worth discussing? How much free stuff is out there to be gotten? I think most participants in this discussion are under the mistaken notion that there are large amounts of “free” stuff that is regularly given away.
It might be ????? if it’s still available for free.
if it is meant to be free to all – such as phonebooks etc. – you should not selll it.
