Buyback service
Bring us your old IKEA furniture and get back up to 50% of the sale price as an IKEA refund card.
Second life buyback service
You want to redecorate your home but do not know where to go with the old pieces of furniture? If your used piece of furniture is still in good shape, make someone else happy with it!
At IKEA, you can now return used, well-preserved furniture and receive an IKEA refund card for it depending on the condition. We then give your piece of furniture a second life by reselling it in the Zweites Leben Shop for the same amount you received.

Frequently asked questions about the Buyback service
Reasons why products are sold in the Zweites Leben Shop
- Products that go out of the range and are no longer intended for normal sale – they are in perfect condition and deserve a second life.
- Products that have been exhibited in our IKEA home and have inspired many customers now deserve a home where they can fulfill their true purpose.
- Used products that have been returned by customers for various reasons and are still fully functional.
- Aesthetically slightly damaged products that, although they are no longer perfect, still provide good services.
- The products in the Zweites Leben Shop are either partially packed with the original packaging or already assembled completely.
We all need to be aware of how our choices affect our planet. When improving our living environment, we may ask, for example, whether furniture that we do not need could possibly have a second life elsewhere. Our “Second Life Buyback Service” service is a way to make sustainable living more affordable.
