Same as previous deal back in Feb/March

Go in on a Friday to combine with 50% off mains

Sell us your pre-loved IKEA furniture

We're all feeling the pinch of living at the moment, so there's no better time to get cleverer with resources. Sell us your pre-loved furniture and we’ll make sure it gets a second chance at life. In exchange, you get an IKEA refund card, ready to use on something you need now. Better yet, IKEA Family members earn 50% on the Buy-back value from 2 May – 3 June.*

How IKEA Buy-back works

Determine what you want to resell. Only unmodified, completely assembled second hand IKEA furniture is accepted for buyback. Refer to the lists of eligible/ineligible products below. For ineligible items, consider reuse, donation, selling via online marketplaces or recycling.
Use the buy-back estimator tool. Find what IKEA furniture you’re interested in selling and tell us its condition. You’ll get an estimate of what IKEA will pay to buy back your furniture.
Make sure your furniture is clean and assembled, ready for its new home. Bring it and your estimate to the Exchange and Returns section of your nearest IKEA store.
Pat yourself on the back. You’re helping us prolong product life, promote second hand furniture and waste less. Thanks for contributing to making IKEA more circular and to becoming people and planet positive!
Your IKEA Refund card can be used in any Australian IKEA store, or on IKEA.com.au. Your refund card is valid for 3 years from the date of issue.
We are looking for…

Unmodified, completely assembled, clean IKEA products
Chest of drawers
Office chairs and desks
Bedside tables
Display cabinets

    Where can the extra 50% be found? I'm logged into IKEA Family but the buyback estimate tool only shows a "Non IKEA Family offer" for me

    • bom72 on 02/05/2024 - 12:04

      same here, just seems to be regular pricing

    Do you need the receipt to resell items?

    • star-ggg on 02/05/2024 - 12:32

      no. you do a estimate quote on the website and they double check the furniture when you are there.

  • Barry off EastEnders on 02/05/2024 - 12:47

    Why would someone return something that was "loved"? - Can't stand this term for people hocking usually, old and useless stuff.

    Should be "pre-hated" if anything.

      Why would you re-assemble 2-3 times a fully assembled piece, flat-pack or otherwise?

      • Miami Mall Alien on 02/05/2024 - 14:40

        They specifically state that your used IKEA product has to be returned fully assembled, after which they'll obviously disassemble it for sale.

        By the time a future customer buys it, it's been assembled then disassembled and reassembled (possibly even more times by the original owner). That's really not ideal for a lot of the flimsier IKEA furniture, especially when it's predominantly made of particle board/laminate/MDF.

        • jjjaar on 02/05/2024 - 23:15

          after which they'll obviously disassemble it for sale.

          Incorrect. The pre loved section is all completely assembled. As is. Once a customer purchases, they decide what to do with it (eg take assembled as is or disassemble themselves for transport).

      • anglais on 02/05/2024 - 15:38

        When was the last time you moved house?

        • andresampras on 02/05/2024 - 15:41

          end of last year, why do you ask?

          we hired a truck and took the smaller stuff over by car, didn't disassemble anything

    • Hinee on 02/05/2024 - 14:22

      The recycled stuff is returned and sold assembled mate.

        I can't find any mention of that on their website but if that's the case, that's honestly even worse. Moving around fully-assembled IKEA furniture on a trailer or flat-bed ute is just asking for trouble. There's a reason flat-pack furniture is sold disassembled from the manufacturer; it's specifically not designed to be transported when fully-assembled.

        • Hinee on 02/05/2024 - 14:49

          I dunno man. As someone who has actually seen the pre-loved section at Ikea I think it's fine.

          • andresampras on 02/05/2024 - 15:10

            @Hinee: Same here, I've bought from the 'as is' section in the past.

            Although my last visit I didn't see any good deals. Depends on what happens to be available at any point in time

    What are IKEA actually doing with the furniture? Sending to landfill to promote further sales?

    • darklycopene on 03/05/2024 - 05:36

      Name checks out! They send it to the As Is section near the checkouts for people to buy. Its a bit like an opshop, you never know what's there but sometimes theres a bargain

      • Pratty on 03/05/2024 - 06:26

        All of it? Everything they receive? I highly doubt it.

          If its through the buy back program, yes everything. Some things arent eligibile though as per T&Cs. If you were to return something under "warrenty" because it was broken then they would obviously not be able to sell that on and that would get dumped.
          This post is about the buy back program though…

            @darklycopene: Sure thing. The volume of things bought from IKEA, and then returned like this, just makes me feel this can’t be true. But you’re a more credible source than me. :)

  • meowsers on 02/05/2024 - 14:52

    Someone was bragging on unethical life tips that they purchased new covers for their couch prior to trade-in and then returned the old ones. Made their couch look "new".

    Doesn't seem worth the effort but to each their own.

    Just a tip for anyone that is up to the task..

    Last time this deal was on i found 3 bookshelves on fbook for 50 each.
    Took them to ikea and got $690 store credit for them

  • Terry25 on 02/05/2024 - 20:09

    Anyone successfully sell used fabric sofa to Ikea?
    Mine got some stains on it, will they take it and treat it as "well used"?

    • AustriaBargain on 03/05/2024 - 05:19

      I bet they have machines to remove stains, if they still back their no questions asked return policy.

    • bom72 on 05/05/2024 - 22:42

      From experience they'll take it if it's a bit worn with minor scratches or chips, but not if it's dirty

      • Hobbes on 20/05/2024 - 09:12

        May be a bit late, however for reference: I traded a Vimle 3 seater in at the weekend. Couch was in great condition apart from the base cushion covers which had some fading/sun damage.
        I still received the trade price ($599) I'dnentered online (during assesment I selected the middle 'Very Good' grading) with no questions asked.
        PS. This was the Logan (Brisbane) store.

  • bom72 on 03/05/2024 - 09:31

    anyone else get quoted one price on their estimator site, but when the confirmation email comes through it's a lower price?

    • Funjolt on 03/05/2024 - 21:51

      Emails and online quotes don’t matter until you take it to store and get told that they can recycle it for you free!

  • Funjolt on 03/05/2024 - 21:50

    This to me is the biggest fraud of all time. I took a wardrobe which had a tiny scratch (not even visible without knowing) and they offered me to recycle for free. WHAT A JOKE. All that time to take it to store and back!

    • Pratty on 04/05/2024 - 16:40

      Love all the negs above for me haha. How do they recycle a wardrobe with a minor scratch on it I wonder?

  • kokita on 30/05/2024 - 09:12

    I got rejected for all my items. I think this is a scam.
    I tried to return a dining table and chairs, they said the condition is not clean. I think IKEA only accepts brand new stuffs for this buy-back.

    I saw another customer got rejected for a wardrobe.

    So, be mindful if you want to bring in your loved furniture.

      Used it multiple times with no issues. Are you describing the returned items accurately?

  • impoze on 31/05/2024 - 11:12

    Returned a malm bedside drawer yesterday, it had a chip on the top but otherwise fine.
