Ikea is testing a secondhand marketplace, but only in two countries

A new place to find that set of Malm drawers you’ve wanted.

The two places are Madrid, Spain and Oslo, Norway.
Thanks for neutralizing the clickbait!
Clever idea. Plenty of pre-built Billy bookcases and Kallax shelves out there.
And if you find them old enough, they contain actual wood!
Malm has been discontinued due to tip-over hazard, so soon a secondhand marketplace will be the only place to find it.
(I know this because I was planning to buy a $280 Malm 6-drawer chest just the other day, but then came to my senses and bought a 1960s chest made out of actual wood for $60 off Craigslist instead. Don't get me wrong: I like Ikea, but some stuff there is better than others. Stick with bent-lamination Poängs and solid-wood Hemnes and such; eschew particleboard.)
I really don't see the advantage or need for this. Spain has a pretty cool secondhand marketplace, Wallapop, which works quite well.
