  • That whole sub works on cycles - news breaks, there’s an immediate negative reaction towards trump and a couple of days later the sub finds some way to spin the whole thing.

    It’s fun watching them get told how to think in real time, though I’m not sure if it’s done big conspiracy with some russian telling them how to think or just a collective coping mechanism.

    They’re still used goods. It’s very unlikely that the still better-quality goods aren’t free of blemishes or marks. It still involves dealing with someone that isn’t going to give you any kind of warranty in case of an issue, or that might only take cash, etc. There’s also a huge assumption on availability of those used goods, which you cannot guarantee.

    Sure, there’s nothing wrong with all that necessarily but it shows that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. OP’s statement isn’t fair by saying that Ikea is just as expensive as good quality wood furniture.

    I don’t think it’s fair to compare brand new unassembled Ikea furniture to used furniture found on a marketplace. Compare the price of used Ikea furniture with new Ikea furniture, or new Ikea furniture with new non-ikea furniture.

    Used goods being cheaper isn’t a surprise.
