Greedy house sellers

I'm selling my house at the mo. Am leaving things like curtain poles, curtains etc because a)they were bought to match the interior b)they won't necessarily fit elsewhere and c) I can't frankly be arsed to take them down and make good the holes and repaint areas in every room.

Stupidly I thought this was pretty much the civilised thing to do. However the house I'm buying, they are offering to sell me the poles/curtains in the house. Lounge windows (small cottage windows) - £350 a pair.... I have no recollection of what they were like but I don't remember them being hand embroidered in gold thread or anything to justify that cost! How can they even think that's okay? I declined obviously....

AIBU to think that you either leave such items or offer them for sale at a reasonable second hand price?

(Oh and on the vague off chance the vendors are reading this, I think taking out a few years old integrated appliance or offering it at £500 isnt polite either. (I can buy a new one for not much more!)

Been in our new house a couple of days and wishing they hadn’t left their integrated appliances because I’m now having to fucking replace the dishwasher and hob which don’t work!

I know this thread is six months old, but I watched it to reply and have only just got round to it.

We bought our house recently and the 'built in' bar in the garden was taken, leaving the decking it was on all splintery, meaning that we've had to replace that. Also holes in many of the walls and where there aren't holes, there are nails or screws.

Also, they took the gates. The gates!!! I couldn't believe it on moving day.
