I have a workaround for the community lot issue. I started a sale last night just off the dock in Cavalier Cove in Brindleton Bay last night. I had one toy left on the table that didn't sell. She was exhausted (as was I), so I tried repeatedly to clear and pick up the table. I cleared the cache, etc., and nothing worked. I tried putting a dirty dish that was still in my inventory on the table, thinking maybe if I added something on, maybe it would fix the inventory and I'd be able to remove both items. No luck. Today, I logged in and managed to sell them both fairly quickly, and was able to pick up the table.
She's a new homeless Sim trying to earn enough to move up in the world, so I didn't want to sell from my inventory to the "nothing". I earned enough for the table and some camping gear by "selling" fish to the Salty Paws Saloon. This definitely would have ruined my gameplay. Hopefully, this works for the rest of you, too.
Good luck all!
