ParticipantI’ll agree it’s a gray area.
However, consider what people would normally take with them if they were selling the house and the bank wasn’t taking it away. If they are taking stuff that would normally convey with the residence then it seems pretty shady.

Participant“Is this really any different from say buying toys and electronics from someone that purchases on a credit card who can’t afford to make payments on the card and in the process gives the middle finger to the credit card company?
What if the homeowner paid for new cabinets using his/her credit card and didn’t pay off the bill? Is that any different?”
It’s different, although I don’t think that walking away from credit card debt and keeping all your shit is ethical either.
In this case, I don’t have a problem with them taking the fridge or even the stove. But for them to be removing ‘fixed’ items that normally convey with a property: ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, cabinets, AC units, etc is pretty pathetic. Why not just take the doors, the counter tops and dig up the shrubs while you are at it?
Hell, I just put in a new roof last month and had all my interior door frames and doors replaced (plus new lockets). That is MY money dammit. Guess I’m gonna be ripping off that roof and tearing out the doors/handlesets if the bank ever takes my house..after all, it’s MY stuff.

Participant“What are ethics?”
Buying something that somebody is ‘stealing’ from the house that is being repossessed from them is akin to buying stereo equipment that some guy is selling out of the trunk of his car in the Walmart parking lot.
It says alot about our society when a) we have this kind of thing going on and b) people seem to think it’s ok as long as they can profit from it.
Weren’t there a couple of posts recently about people who were being paid to turn in their keys without doing any damage to the property? Now some of you are condoning the very behavior that these programs were trying to prevent because you can profit from it? Isn’t that personal greed what got us into this mess in the first place?
Color me disgusted at both the people placing the ads and the people buying their shit.
