I don't like people "fixing" and reselling items unless they were unusable to begin with, but it doesn't make sense for the original seller to demand money because they aren't the victim, the victim is the person with less money who now can't afford the dresser.

but to be fair i don't think there's any real shortage of cheap furniture, at least not in my area, so it doesn't really matter in the end

    tbh I'd rather people fix and refresh older real furniture rather then just toss it. people continue getting trapped in the quality that is... Ikea. giving the good furniture new life is better then anything new these days

    Except this wasn't someone fixing up a piece of furniture that was going to get tossed. This was someone buying a cheap piece of furniture, touching it up, and selling it for a nearly 9x profit. Meanwhile removing it from the pool of cheap furniture available to someone who can only afford to buy the $25 piece.
