I’d take it if it was something small like let’s say a vacuum. Even if I didn’t need it, I could shove in a corner of my basement. But a snow blower is huge. Takes ton of space. Id not have space for it. So no I’d not take it. Id politely explain that I have no space in my garage for it. Bottom line, I’d do exactly what you did. I understand feeling bad. But you aren’t being rude or unreasonable.
