      But Lithuania is a wealthy country for rich capital owners and Germany is for factory workers

      That’s kind of the issue with the EU to be honest.

      With the single market, salary did not align but cost of living did.

      The seemingly same set is aroud 390 eur in Poland

    4. Choose a country for left, use right for the other one and stick to it ffs.

      The same Knoxhult kitchen is 409€ in Turkey. (Minimum wage is 594€(until TRY loses value again and they have to adjust it, again.))

      Pleb tax. Stuff in 🇵🇱 is usually more expensive too.

      IKEA prices are kind of random in different counties. There is a lot of variation in both directions. Example [90€ in LT](https://www.ikea.lt/en/products/kitchen/kitchen-cabinets/kitchen-cabinets-kitchen-legs-open-frames/enhet-high-fr-w-shelves-art-70448964) or [129€ in DE](https://www.ikea.com/de/de/p/enhet-regalrahmen-hoch-mit-boeden-anthrazit-70448964/).
      There are Tools to compare the Prices to other countries:

      [https://mnazarov.github.io/ikeaprices/](https://mnazarov.github.io/ikeaprices/)

      However none of them seem to have Lithuania integrated so far.

      Oh the couch hurts!
      Idk if it’s the same, had some minor differences but the same.

      That’s a mafia level profit margin from 500€ to 1000€.

      ~€400 in Czech Republic
      Its really odd, as for example my travel time to closest Ikea in Germany is shorter than to closest Ikea in CZ

      Does Lithuania also have some law that prevents the comparison images from staying on one side for consistency?

      Don’t worry, every item I have checked in polish Ikea is even more expensive here.

      What is the message of this? Probably import associated costs are higher in Lithuania for some reason, possibly because economics of scale works better for larger countries. But I don’t see the connection to minimum salary. Do you guys expect that Ikea should sell at a loss?

      Funny enough, in Serbia, which is even poorer, things are even more expensive. For example, the kitchen from the first picture costs €410.

    14. CrimsonThunder34 on

      It costs 530 euro in Bulgaria. Minimum wage? 551 euro.

      What is this shithole I live in…

      Knoxhult In Hungary: 450^(€)

      Minimum net salary (Jan. 2025): 477^(€)

      Isn’t that just great? You can work a full whole month just so you can buy 1 (ONE) fucking IKEA furniture. I mean, you haven’t eaten, haven’t paid bills, haven’t used any services, but at least you have a fucking IKEA furniture. Lovely.

      The bigger the market, the lower the prices. I could bet the quantity that goes to Lituhuania is significantly smaller than Germany, storage prices therefore are also higher. Yes, you can debate workers earn less, and maybe some other expenses are lower. But again, your profit margins are significantly lower and you need to increase the prices, to be above that “targeted” profit. Sorry. It is, what it is. Also where it is manufactured and logistics also add to the price, as Germany is a centre for a lot of transits.
