When we moved out here the previous owners left 2 complete unabridged encyclopedia sets in one of the bedroom closets. So we nicely put them in the play house outside they were coming back to pick up later.

One cool thing they left was the quick ability to check my lightbulb pressure in the laundry room.

I need that feature to know when to top off my blinker fluid.

I would look at it as a half new jar of mayo!
i'm a little weirded out right now, because i've never thought of mayo as used vs new. Given the traditional use of mayo as an ingredient in foods, WTF is "used" mayo anyway? Seems like a "half full" vs "half empty" thing, but i definitely don't want *any* quantity of used mayo in my house.
also, inside the handlebar of a worn-out bicycle i bought from a guy who used it as his daily when he "had drivers license problems", i found a syringe. it was labeled "insulin" but who knows.

Well look at Mr. Rockefeller over here buying NEW condiments while the rest of us are cruising Craigslist living the Grassroots Mayosports life.
Dozens of pornographic dime novels tucked up into the spare bathroom's drop ceiling, all with names like "daddy's little helper" and "what a little girl wants." I'm still scarred, and that was decades ago.

How much you want for them?

The windows are original to the house, I don't think the HVAC is though. The bong definately wasn't oem LOL.
It could explain so much about German cars though!

Make sure to check the date codes. It's like tires. If you get a bad one, a severe blowout could be in your future.
Most times I get nothing other than maybe some loose change and trash. Our latest house they left some cool things because they were too much work to move, some nice shelving for the garage, a decent pool table and a hot tub. We thought we were getting the good end of the deal. After we moved in we discovered they left tons of stuff and debris behind, in the shed and in the woods in the backyard, Two years later we are still cleaning up junk they buried. We joke that the police are going to come knock on the door some night and say they want to dig up the back yard because the previous owners hid something.

I wanted to joke "only the good parts" but it was just too gross to even joke about.
In reply to Marjorie Suddard :
There are a lot of things I'm willing to say, "To each their own..." about.
That isn't one of them.
There was a boat motor in my attic
A friend spent 2 decades building a beautiful wood boat in his basement.
When he sold the house, new owners found the boat was still there. Turns out there actually was no door big enough to remove the boat from the basement.

Had he worked for NCIS by any chance?
In reply to Marjorie Suddard :
In my most recent house purchase I found a 25 year old Hustler on top of the ductwork in the garage. It had some Polaroids tucked in it 
Just... no.

Absolutely similar!
His intentions were to install a picture window in the basement and remove the boat. He never cut the window in
My issues have been with the stuff that prior owners took out of cars I bought...for some reason, the prior owner of my Sonic TOOK THE JACK OUT. Guess how I found out?
Clem Sparks on here has a story about a rental house he bought ~20 years ago that he filled a dumpster with porn and various sex toys. You couldn't pay me enough to clean that E36 M3 up.
Some weird stuff from the veterinary office I bought. One mystery was the series of evenly spaced holes drilled in the wall of a hallway and in the bathroom. After we owned it for a while I learned that the previous owner used an electric drill as a stud finder.
They left behind the resident clinic cat. She was a small cat, probably shouldn't have weighed more than eight or 9 pounds, and weighed 20 pounds. She had some pretty significant chronic pain from being overweight, plus the inevitable arthritis that occurs in declawed cats.
it turned out that they hadn't let her out of her cage in at least three years, since the receptionists (both of whom I fired, and not nearly soon enough) didn't want to get cat hair on their clothes. She had a good retirement with my family at our house. Fred was probably about 20 years old when she died.
In reply to Marjorie Suddard :
I totally agree.
One of the many used cars my family had over the years had a bullet wedged down in the glovebox hinge. It was hard to see from a normal angle but when you looked straight down into the hinge gap you could clearly see it. I don't remember ever feeling like we really needed to remove it. Pretty sure it went with the car when we sold it.
When I was kitting out my first new apartment I bought a teak bedroom set. Frame, headboard, nightstands, dressers, the works. We only removed the top dresser drawers to carry it and after we got it into my new place I realized a bottom drawer still contained the seller's wife's nighttime lacey bits. When I called him he didn't even say "hi", just "um, yeah. Can you just put them in a bag and drop them by. She's not super happy with me right now."
