sorted byThe only problem was that IKEA require it to be pre-built which meant hiring a van to take it there. Sold it on Facebook for the same amount they would have paid.
For one there only seems to be a limited range of stuff they will buy back, secondly as mentioned they want it fully assembled!
I stuck it on FB marketplace, got swamped with enquires, thought I probably should have asked for more for it, but it was gone within a couple of days.
Like we buy any car, offer you the world only to reduce it to debris after inspection even if car is in good shape ...
Yeah, I maybe then spent £300+ in IKEA afterwards, but that's not the point...
Anyway we left the table there for them to 'recycle' and complained online to IKEA, because at no point did the process at the time mention anything about being rejected because of the condition. Can't remember how much compensation we got, but we did get a gift voucher off them.
Erm so how exactly do you buy it?
