In case you’ve missed the hype, the special collaboration between the popular furniture with the renowned fashion mogul was made available in a few IKEA stores in Europe for a limited time period.

The highy-anticipated “MARKERAD” collection has managed to catch the attention of many fans in Malaysia. In this case, many people, especially online re-sellers gathered as early as 5am to not missed out on the chance to get their hands on the limited edition items.

Not only that, some also took the advantage to re-sell the items online after purchasing them in stores – for an eye-popping price that exceeded the original number. As seen on the tweet below, the user is selling the “MARKERAD” white clock for a whopping price of RM400! Keep in mind that the original price of the clock is only RM129 – and the list of the selling items goes on as we’re saying.
