Default It depends ...

In my opinion, it depends on the buyers. When we sold our home up north, the buyers needed so much that they agreed to buy the house 'as is' rather than the more typical 'broom clean'because there was a lot they could use. What was objectively not usable we hauled away to the recycling center.

In our present home here in TV, we were fortunate to find one in which virtually everything the sellers had done over the years they were here was agreeable to us. One of the things we had to do was match laminate flooring that they had put down in a portion of the house that we wished to extend, and while they didn't leave any, they did leave one empty box of the product which our floor installer was able to use to continue flooring with an identical match.

Before discarding anything that could be remotely useful, I would check with the buyers, whether directly or through the real estate agents.
