Honestly, I would argue at least a portion of those items would get thrown away if he hadn't gotten them. When someone wants something gone, and when a different person wants to acquire that particular thing don't always align. It's tweaker arbitrage, but it's not that big a deal IMHO.

The real moral failing from my perspective is not recognizing how much help he got, and how 'lucky' he was.
