I hope that it doesn't start to mirror being a car salesman!</p>Will KirbySat, 28 Jan 2006 14:19:26 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2006/01/27/giving-incentives-away-with-the-house/#comment-21300557<p>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.</p>Michael KimsalFri, 27 Jan 2006 14:20:43 -0000
