Though I imagine you could easily sell your armoire for close to what you paid for it (if indeed it hasn't actually gained value). I don't think there is a market for second hand IKEA furniture. You have to weigh up between the money you lose in scrapping the IKEA apartment vs. the dead money tied up in quality furniture "inventory" and the relative difficulty in selling that to free up the funds again.
