Ikea stuff sells really well on ebay

I've been selling stuff that cost me a couple of quid for a tenner or more. And stuff that didnt sell, I was able to return for a refund. I've now moved house and I'm too far from an Ikea store.

    For exampkle what kind of things. I can see why people are prepared to pay a premium if you to have avoid a trip there. The place is a nightmare to shop at!

    i bet you could get loads of customers from ireland and northern ireland. Closest IKEA to us in Belfast is Glasgow - the local ferry company organises coach trips over - you can imagine what the bus is like on the way home!!

    i was just about to say the same thing! i need to get some lampshades and other knick nacks... stuff that doesn't warrant paying for a ferry crossing, but is a good deal cheaper than over here. i have considered ebay but so far i haven't seen the items i want. but yes, it would be v easy to have a profitable business through ebay with ikea if you don't inflate your prices too much
