24-year-old roommate tries to secretly sell $7,000 couch for $2,000, forcing four other housemates to hide it from him and leave $200 behind as payback: ‘I’m nervous about his reaction but I guess we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it’

Nothing brings housemates together like furniture, and nothing tears them apart faster than the promise of a cash windfall from reselling that furniture. Enter the $7,000 sectional sofa, the true MVP at the center of today's story and the shared house, brought home thanks to one roommate's office perks and the collective muscle and sweat of everyone else. 

Fast-forward a year, and suddenly, it's less a couch and more a treasure chest on wobbly legs, except roommate Captain Greedy has decided their U-haul receipt is a deed of ownership.

In this house, whoever fronts the transportation cost becomes Lord of the Living Room, retroactively giving themselves full claim to communal property and a starring role in the world's most awkward Facebook Marketplace listing.
