08/15/2006 Entry: "IKEA's Seattle Prices"

My friend Geoff Duncan (he was one of my first office mates when we were contracting at Microsoft in 1993) has been studying the new IKEA catalog. Most of his post is about the vast amount of remaindered books shown filling up the shelves in the new catalog, but I was surprised by the higher prices in the Seattle edition as compared to the nation edition. Ten bucks more for a LACK coffee table! Also, why is the headline "Organize your everyday life" in Seattle, and the more cheerful "Celebrate your everyday life" everywhere else?

By the way, if you are an IKEA fan, do check out the blog IKEAhacker for lots of ideas on using IKEA stuff in different ways.

You were right, getting away at 8 05 ish was just
right to get the photo, It was all in lights and so the the Space Needle in the setting sun.
Our day trip is one that Marg and I enjoy from time to time and if we get a Hurrican burger from Hurrican 24 hour cafe, well that is just part of the adventure. We got home at 11 pm pst.

Very interesting perspective on IKEA stuff ..... when we move to Geneva I was sure to take the US version with me to be able to translate the words and pricing comparisons .....
