When i used to have a couple of tables at train shows, I would occasionally put out a few such items (plus old catalogs, small accessories, etc.) under a "Free!" sign. Boy, would that attract a crowd to my table. Never a thing left, either. And once in a while, someone would also notice something that I WAS selling and end up buying it.
In both these cases, you are talking about expending your own time, energy, and other resources just to find someone to take it from you for free. Now you are truly going negative in these transactions (unless you light up some kid's face when he gets a train car for free. Even I can't put a number/dollar on that).
