I "took" something that was offered, once, a small upright vacuum, to use in my office.

We have listed many things on our Freecycle, to be given away, though, and they have always found a home. Just last week, someone came and picked up a washer and dryer (not matching) that were both in need of repair, and someone came for my gas range that we had replaced. That lady said her oven hadn't worked in over a year.
