to wonder what kind of idiot would buy this?

[Objection]

Ikea Bygel Rails at Ikea are £1.50 to £2.00
The hooks are £1.00 for 10.

There are people selling them (new, as a business) on ebay for £7.00 - £15.00. Ditto for Amazon!!!

WHY would you not just buy at Ikea?!?!?

(yes, there are indeed bigger things to angst about I know)

The sedatives I need to recover from a trip to ikea are incompatible with driving safely home. Cheaper to pay inflated eBay prices than a taxi home for valiumed-up me.

I know why people pay over the odds for Ikea (cos I did ). Headed off on massive day trip to ikea with dh & 3 kids in tow. Dh would've preferred to stick pins in his eyes but soldiered on for me. Bought all the things on my list but on returning home hours later discovered I'd forgotten a couple of essential small things. Rather than waste time and petrol and risk divorce I ordered off amazon. The shame...

How does ikea stay in business.

I can drag my son shopping, which him being asd is stressful but I could easy do it again the next day.

Ikea needs divorce and adoption agency by the door.

If you lived next door to an ikea this would be a great business, because you wouldn't bother buying stuff until some mug body had bought it from you - so your only investment would be the listing fees.
