1920s
At the age of five, Kamprad started profiting from selling matches to his community. By the time he turned the age of seven, he expanded his location further ahead by using the transportation of a bicycle. He used the process of buying matches in bulk at a low price and then deciding to re-sell them at a very low price but still making extraordinary profit. From matches he then moved on to selling flower seeds, greeting cards, Christmas tree decorations, and later pencils and ball-point pens.
