Is the refrigerator in bad shape? The appliances can be used
as a negotiating point, but really, who wants to move appliances
halfway across the country anyway. Better off leaving them, but
I probably wouldn't replace them unless it was really bad. The
realtor will probably tell you what's usual in that area.

My house came with all the appliances, I don't remember even
asking for them.
