meanwhile you practically have to pay people to take away current used Ikea pieces. The market for old DDR (East Germany) furniture here in Berlin is a bit crazy. Old cheap poor quality furniture (all MDF) selling for loads because it looks good on Instagram. I know a guy that goes to house clearance sales in random places in East Germany, then brings pieces back to sell to hipsters in Berlin. Like me. | ||
