[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised how many people think window treatments, like the curtains not blinds, should stay.  Do you expect the shower curtain to be left?[/quote]

Yeah, in the DC area it is pretty standard to leave the window treatments (curtains/blinds/rods) and if you don't plan on doing that it is usually mentioned in the listing.

Shower curtains no.  Shower rods I would leave.

I'm surprised at how many of you are cheap bastards considering the costs of homes in this area. If I spent $20,000 on curtains and drapes...they aren't staying. Blinds...unless they're the real wood ones or mechanized, could stay.

To put it simply, I'd rather sell my old treatments (which are worth a pretty penny) then just give them to you. What you get is the four walls, the flooring, and the appliances agreed upon. Das it.[/quote]

You're crazy if you think someone's going to buy your old drapes.  They were worth that much when you bought them for that specific house with your decor, but you'd be lucky to get a fraction of what you paid. [/quote]

Seriously.  You leave them because they fit those particular windows, they go with that particular paint in the house.  Who do you think is going to buy your dusty, custom made, used window treatments for full price?

If you aren't going to leave them at least be straightforward about and put it in the listing "window treatments do not convey".[/quote]
