Lidkøb Østerbro København

I like it very much, it's fun to visit, and it's worth spending time here to hunt for treasures!

My experience of this store is only as a buyer twice and this was one of the best thrift store I’ve ever been to, my favourite in Copenhagen. The prices are a bit high and it’s really hard to find things because all sizes and colours and clothes are mixed together but there were so many gems! There were quite a few high quality pieces I found! Two wool cardigans I will treasure. I very much regret not buying a pair of jeans too. If it’s possible to mail to me I would buy them. It’s a huge store and you can spend a lot of time in there.

The place is good to look for some reasonable and good secondhand items. But unfortunately my 3 items were stolen when I booked a stand for selling my secondhand clothes and items! So sad it is still someone stealing things here! Also, the commission fee and weekly stand fee are very expensive!!!

Have a lot of nice used things, but not as many as in the past, and the prices have gone up a bit.

If I had to give my honest reviews, I would give Lidkøb 5 stars as a customer, and 1 star as a seller. If you visit the store as a buyer, Lidkøb is a fantastic place. You will always find something you want to buy. The selection is huge, and you can find goods at ridiculous prices, as well as exclusive vintage items. I hate today's women's fashion, and second-hand stores are for me the only place where I can buy beautiful and feminine clothes. But now we come to seller experiences. And here I have nothing good to say. I recently had a clothing stand and glass display cases where I have put things up for sale. And I have unfortunately experienced both theft and vandalism at BOTH. For example, I had various sunglasses in the glass cage. Some were from well-known companies and cost a few hundred kroner, others were cheap plastic glasses that I sold for 15 kroner/piece. When I came by on the last day to empty my shelves, I saw that a pair of my expensive sunglasses had disappeared. At the same time, I had a pair of the cheap glasses left, but they were missing their price tags. It took me a second to understand what exactly had happened: a shameless, thieving customer took the expensive glasses, removed the price tag (15 kr) from the cheap glasses and went to the checkout, where she (or he) "legally" bought a pair of good glasses from a well-known company for 15 kroner. The worst thing is that the store employee who opened the glass cage either did not pay attention to the customers' actions, or, even worse: allowed her/him to change the price tags and collaborated with the cowardly fraudster! This is a criminal act, and such an employee should never be allowed to have a job. When I complained to the staff, they promised me to investigate the matter and check their surveillance cameras, but I know for a fact that nothing will happen. It is also not possible to get an "advertisement" for your stuff. I had clothes for sale in very small sizes that most Danish women can't fit into, and I would like to have my stand highlighted so that the right target group (very thin women who like feminine clothes) would know that there is a stand where they can find their dream clothes. Many years ago (2017) they had a much better concept: every now and then the store employees would put on various clothes and play models, and then the pictures would be posted with information about which stand each outfit comes from. Then the things would sell very quickly. But these days they usually only show the stand itself with hanging pieces of clothes, and these "advertisements" are useless. Another terrible experience I had as a seller is "customers" who vandalize your goods. For example, I had a candlestick for sale; the candlestick itself was made of metal and had an alarm tag, but the candles had to be put into removable "cups" made of glass. And a week later I came by the store and saw that both glass containers were gone. I found one of them on a stand in another row, the other disappeared without a trace. So I had to throw away the whole thing. What kind of sick act is it to destroy other people's property for the sake of destruction? It wasn't even theft; it was just scurrilous vandalism without purpose or logic. And when you have your things stolen, there's no help. So if you want to sell something in this store, please be aware that you have no protection if someone wants to steal or destroy your things. And your goods are not in safe hands either, even if they are in glass cases: people can change the price tags and take your precious goods for nothing, possibly with the permission of the staff!
