You want to sell something? You miss Kijiji? Meet letgo. The company is American but the service is widely used here in Turkey.
It’s a free, person-to-person, mobile classifieds app that allows users to buy from, sell to and chat with others locally.
Search for used item in Ankara, or sell yours easily.
There are LOTS of things (even inidividual pencils…) but with the right search terms, using Google Translate or the model #, you can find what you are looking for!
There is a chat interface to communicate with the seller so you don’t have to provide your email publicly. Onece you find the product you’re looking for, you can chat or exchange phone # / What’App to arrange the meeting in a public place.
There is a review program so you see if the seller is reliable, I already bought a few items and it was really easy to use.
Get the Letgo app for iPhone here, for Android here, or visit tr.letgo.com/tr .

Another similar buy & sell website, Craglist, is blocked in Turkey (like Wikipedia, server connection impossible). Probably because it has become a very popular online destination for arranging for personal dating & intimate relations. In America and Canada the adult section of the service has been closed. Here, the whole website was blocked.
