No verbal agreements, put it in writing with a refundable deposit of the full amount. (just in case they try to back out)
Tangible personal property when sold with a house is subject to sales tax.

There is a $500,000 exclusion on the sale of a residence when the house has been your primary residence for two for the past 5 years.

There is no exclusion for the sale of personal property at a profit.

Would the buyer pay any different property tax if the appraisal was the same selling the house for one price or selling it with the furniture listed separately?
