How to get an item out of a villagers house?

[nammy]

I know when you visit them, you can buy one item. But it's an item they won't sell (sloppy).

Do I just have to keep giving them gifts until they replace it? Anyone been bothered by this before? XD

I heard if you give them seashells they will put their stuff in retail.

Usually I try to give something to replace it, like a wardrobe for wardrobe, in a style that they like. Sometimes you'll see at retail, & sometimes they'll give it to you as a reward for running an errand. I have noticed, however, that if it's something from Gracie, it'll just disappear.

I have had no luck with that either...they never want to give you things you don't have yet and/or unorderables etc :/
I tried mailing them furniture and they try to sell it to me after they get it, the little brats!
I have yet to try giving them items they favor but I wouldn't hold out hope.

I was able to get the sloppy chair but, stupid me sold it thinking it was re-orderable. Probably never be able to get any of it without spending a fortune and just not willing to part with my bells because I am a miser haha

Benjamin (a lazy villager with more than half of the sloppy set in his house) actually invited me to his house. Of course there are some pieces they don't want to sell, but half of the items (including sloppy) he would sell to me.

I thought his house was adorable, so I decided just to buy the annoying drip pail from his house instead.

It is really ridiculous that they won't sell certain items to you (I think they're items that aren't reorderable), but it would be a real boon for the player. Like Lionel and his whirlpool bath or Sell and his gorgeous counter >_< It'll get replaced and sent to the furniture void someday (Lionel replaced his gorgeous bed with a striped one... goodbye, rare item!)

Pheobe has a gorgeous bed in her house. It goes so well and if she EVER replaces it, I'm going to make her Kentucky Fried Phoenix (basically ash)

Maybe I should just keep giving him big items? I tried sending him stereos before, he never replaces. At least I got the couch from him, I guess.
