Does it work for both parties? Sometimes, I suppose it does.

In the case of the free stone, the Contractor has to move it 25 miles. That's a lot of transportation.

& not to put too fine a point on it, but the Developer is not known for his largesse.
I agree. But the question at hand is: If the person who "donates" the free palm tree claims it as a deduction on their tax return, is the "public" entitled to know for how much, or is it between the donor and the IRS?
