Resale of Ikea is close to zero unlike those 1k chairs. The only fool is the poor person unable to afford furniture that holds it's value. When you're ready for something new, you can actually sell the old gear for non-trivial amount.
People who know what a Knoll Wassily is worth and are willing to pay anything near what it's worth just buy a new one.
To everyone else, it's just that weird leather chair you see in every office because of knockoffs, and you'll be competing with knockoffs on pricing. The fact you put "ORIGINAL KNOLL" in your listing won't mean anything to them.
Around here Facebook Marketplace is chock full of furniture like that. While I was waiting for my furniture to be shipped across the chair I was looking for a temporary dining set: I ended up with $2,000 marble table for $300 because the owner had underestimated how long it'd take to sell and needed someone to pick it up in 48 hours.
This is very true, the bottom of the market for antique furniture has completely fallen out. Prices are 70-90% reduced from the peak around the early 2000s. Millenials hate the kind of dark, heavy, ornate wooden furniture that used to be top of the line. Even if they liked it, they don't have homes big enough for half of it.
BS. There is a thriving ecosystem of ikea furniture in this city that sells for half price. It actually gets better prices because models are well known.
