The contents of the UK Big Brother house are being sold off to charity. They sold the "Diary Room" (red room) Chair for £30,000 (that's nearly $50,000)!!!

Would anyone buy anything from our BB house?

Ikea furniture? Doesn't even make good firewood.

True, but then again <insert the name of your favourite house guest> wouldn't have sat on any other Ikea furniture .

To tell you the truth... I might! It would be nice to have something from the set when all is said and done. I'm not spending 50 grand on a chair though, I don't care who's butt's been on it! LOL

Personally, I like some of the IKEA furnishings and have visited the IKEA web site since BigBrother began. I was impressed--just from what I had the time to look at on their web site--with IKEA's environmental policy and their concern for the environment and how it relates to the production and packaging of their product line.

The couches in the BB house look comfortable and I've never heard any of the HGs say "man, this couch is uncomfortable" for example. The HGs seem to like all the furnishings. I also like their plates, bowls and cups, particularly because they're quiet--I'm sure this was taken into consideration for the microphones--so their plates/bowls don't clang and bang as glass plates/bowls do. I'd probably buy directly from IKEA and not from an auction site, however.

Since I wrote my above posting, I checked the credits for the show and they read "Furnishings Courtesy of IKEA." Therefore, I suspect Paul Romer is renting the furnishings from IKEA and they will go back to IKEA, or Romer will outright buy the furnishings from IKEA and sell them in an auction. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I would cough up a few bucks (not 50,000. tho) for Cassandra's mask... I think it is cool... but for their beds or sheets naw... just the masks

Wat, I like Cass's mask, too. Mega has a very cool mask, so I might go for that one as well.

Ikea's most likely given them the furnishings for mentions/credits/exposure on the show. Media-speak: "Trade outs."

As for what I'd take, just Pugita. :-)

(After lurking here for most of the show's run, this is my first post. I'm a BB addict and proud! lol)

The guys mentioned they liked the couches. From what they all say, much of the stuff is pretty
shoddy.. lots of the dining chairs have fallen apart, the dishes are plastic and wearing out, the cutlery breaks easily. George wrote all over one bed and broke his frame jumping on it with Britt.

There are a few items that might be fun to have, especially some of the masks.

MTV auctioned off tons of stuff from the Real World Hawaii house and the proceeds went to charity.

Before Battlestar, Luckiegirl and Karri think to claim it, I would like to buy the mattress that Curtis slept on. Can I pick that up tomorrow, please?

Some Ikea stuff is good, a lot of the cheaper stuff falls apart when used by growing families (kids). I really like the springy laminated-wood chairs with canvas backs... They call them Pöang. Whatever the heck that is.

Maybe they will sell off the dominos piece by piece, so people can buy something cheap that was still part of the show.
