Appreciation post: The open house where a guy tried to buy my shoes
At a viewing in Vancouver last month, a man offered me $200 for my boots right in the living room... said they'd 'complete the vibe' of the place. Has anyone else had a totally wild interaction at a showing?

Wow, that's a new one. Honestly, you have to shut that down fast. I had a guy at a viewing try to negotiate for a floor lamp once. You just say, "This isn't the place for that," and walk to another room. It keeps things on track and avoids a weird vibe for other potential buyers. People get strange ideas when they're imagining their life in a new space.

Last year a couple asked if the dining set was included, like it was a hotel room. You're right, @the_shane, you have to cut that off right away or it gets weird fast. I just told them the sale was for the house only and moved on to talk about the roof.
