now please I will accept the money-payment
I think they just took it and spread it out into different stuff to make it less frustrating. First of all, Re-Tail does a bit of that work instead of you going around their house trying to figure out what's for sale and what isn't. And you can do the same in Re-Tail for other villagers so on Flea Market day they don't try to buy everything in your house whenever you're inside it.
Also, if you're good-enough friends with a villager, and they invite you to go in their house, sometimes they'll ask you if you like something about their house, and if you say yeah, you can pick and choose some furniture in their house that they say is for sale (just like the old flea market). So it's still kinda there, just in a different function.
