2b - look at it this way..... if you like the house but don't like the turnkey furnishings, you can still move in, deal with the furnishings until you can get around to buying what you want - and then have the grandest yard sale of all getting rid of what you don't want to make room for the delivery of your new furnishings! it's a great way to offset the cost of the furnishings you really want - and so many yard salers will thank your for it!!! my guess is that such a yard sale would best be conducted during snowbird season when there are so many more shoppers!
