As in "out of the goodness of your collective hearts"?

Would the word "sold" perhaps be a tad more accurate?

cheers,

(all in good fun, of course)

"Gave" is a good word, Frank. Often people would give something to someone, in exchange for something else. Interestingly enough, in everyday Russian - when you pick up something from the shelf in the department store, you say "take", like in "Boris, please take a bottle of beer for me", or "Frank, I took a white bread"... While in principle it should be "buy" instead of "take"...
