Consumerism Commentary: Giving Incentives Away With The House

Michael Kimsal · 3 years ago

We just sold a house and left the wall-mounted 42" plasma with it. It was a bit of a deal sweetener, but it was also much less of a hassle. Unmount it, pack it, move across states and hope it doesn't break, repatch the drywall, repaint the wall, etc. It also wasn't a top of the line model either, so it's not like it was a $3000 TV (I think it was $1600 IIRC). Probably would have fetched $1000 on ebay (maybe). Take out a couple hundred for the trouble of unmounting it, etc., and I viewed it as not that much of a financial incentive to take it vs. the difference it made when showing the house.

These are great for potential buyers, but come on - can't we just sell a house as it is anymore? I hope that it doesn't start to mirror being a car salesman!
