I've gotten many a free run (LA to Beacons, Beacons to Droks, dungeons, etc) simply because I managed to catch someone who was testing a build/run, or simply didn't care about getting anything in return (of course they did, I like to tip good runners high when I can). On a similar note, I was trying to get a run from Droks to Granite Citadel and Marhan's Grotto, and one of the people being run paid for the entire group. That was pretty awesome.
My friend I play with and I swap items back and forth whenever one of us gets something the other might want/need. I wanted a Kaolin Wand for my Rit, he gave me the one he got. I gave him a Hidesplitter's Spear. I gave him the remaining steel ingots he needed for his Primeval armor, he gave me a Bubahl's Grasp as I was outfitting heroes on another character. He helped me with a mission I was having issues with so I could get Protector of Elona, I farmed him the skree wings for the black moa chick. And so on.
Last night I made a new character and was in Ascalon, and saw a ton of people giving things away. It was pretty nice.
