This has probably been asked before. In previous games you could either retrieve items from the recycling bin or buy items from houses. Is there any way to get items from villager houses in AC:NH?

Totally not because I want to swipe Olaf's hot tub
 
I had Gwen in my town, and she decided to move away. This happened just yesterday. I checked the bin on the day she moved, and there was an "ice floor" in the bin, which was an item from her house. It may have been a complete coincidence...but there may be something to it. It wouldn't be too helpful if moving away was the only way to get their stuff, though (and only one random item, at that). Maybe if you gift them an item that takes up the same space as one they currently have, they might throw away the other one and place the new one where it used to be?
 
That's a little unfortunate. I actually like the villager who has the most furniture I want to steal. Oh well. Guess I'll have to hope I get lucky and find it in Nook's Cranny
 
I havent come across any moments where you're invited to a village'rs house and have the option of buying something from them. But I have had moments where I'll walk into their house, click on something, and then they tell me something about the object. It hasn't resulted in any sales and just seems like more flavor text, but that could be something to look into if theres any chance they may be like "hmm you look awfully interested in that item"? :O
 
Tbh, I could see them patching in a "special event" day where there is a village-wide yard sale or something. Would certainly be one of those things that would make sense. I believe this was in past games, so I'm sure it will return at some point. Like most things in New Horizons...it's probably just a matter of waiting (way too long). Lol.

That was an event in wild world haha I remember it was a really cute event 😊
 
I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but I gifted Beau a bed as I was tired of seeing a sleeping bag in his house, and the day after he pinged me to gift me a sleeping bag. So maybe if you gift them stuff they can replace their furniture with, they will give the replaced stuff to you ?

I had Zell move out too and he left his phonograph. Do you think they always leave the same item for every villager? Well, I guess we'll find out once your Zell moves!

So, Lopez was a pain until the very end. All the nice things he had - books, tables, chairs, a little fireplace/stove, etc.

I got a microwave.

Good riddance, I say.
