You ' re not insane at all to think you can get a large chunk of your money back . On that note , Dubizzle is your best bet . And you have NO IDEA how fast Ikea resells . I have a lot of antiquewood furniture , and had to sell a couple of those pieces along with some Ikea things I had when I moved to a smaller place . Priced roughly the same , but second hand ikea was gone within a day . Also , it does depend on where you live . No one will be willing to drive too far out for stuff . Anddddd . Beware of the idiots you ' ll find on dubizzle . There will be plenty . There will be people who will offer 25 dirhams for something you asked 250 for . They won ' t say hi , they won ' t say Salam , nothing . They ' ll just go , 25 for the table . Just ignore them . Good luck !
