[Disclaimer: IKEA employee]

We’ve got buy back / resale programmes globally, and the US trialled it a couple of months ago. I’d expect to see this expand over time.

Oh wow, that’s great! The less resources Ikea consumes, the better.

However, I was referring to Craigslist “free” listings and antique shops. I suspect those will continue to win out on price or craftsmanship over most stuff Ikea sells. It’s hard to beat items that are free and/or hand-crafted from old growth hardwood.

Our house is split roughly evenly between free stuff, antiques, and ikea stuff.
