Being a fan of both Ikaea and Ebay, I was interested to hear the observation that the recent crush at the new London store was actually caused by people who were desperate to buy cheap and sell at a profit on Ebay. I haven't had the nerve to try selling anything yet, but it is definitely coming. It has got to be easier than having a “yard sale” and finding that nobody wants to buy your goods and chattles.
On the other hand, there is still a lot to go to the charity shops.
