Purchased Condo, owner wants us to buy it, we don't want it

We purchased a vacation condo, the furniture was originally in the purchase price, but because it was a short sale they could not do this and broke it into two different contract which lowered the price of the condo to $118K  and then gave us a furniture contact for 8K .  

We never signed anything to agree to purchase the furniture.  We closed on condo Jan 3rd, and he won't come get furniture says we have to buy it. When I told him I donated it, he said he was suing us for 20K. 

So we are being held hostage and can not start our improvements till furniture is out. We have already lost $2,100K for this month.

Any suggestions?

 I have an attorney that is costing me a lot of money.

Thank you

Joy

Wow.  Amazing how we can turn to what is "in writing" in order to circumvent something that we knowingly agreed to (even though not in writing).  Where is the integrity?  I understand contract law, but some times we allow greed to override good moral behavior.  Suck it up and do what is right!
