I tried Ikea’s new secondhand market. It feels just like shopping at Ikea

Ikea is trying to own its secondhand market, with the goal of becoming a circular company.

I’ve bought and sold my fair share of used Ikea products in the past, and the experience has always been a bit disappointing. Here in Spain, these transactions happen mostly through a peer-to-peer marketplace app called Wallapop, which doesn’t charge any commissions. In the U.S., people mostly use Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or eBay—all of which have a similar subpar user experience.
