Thus, it makes no sense to let it go for less than replacement value (much less for free on top of an already too low offer price).

The rationale is that if your appliances are more than a couple of years old, you can improve on your energy efficiency by replacing them and you might want some newer features that weren't availalbe in your old model. Also, it costs money to move appliances and playsets. I just had this conversation with friends yesterday who moved recently and threw their appliances in to close the deal. They got more money for the house because of it and that offset the cost of buying new appliances.
