Sakla

Sakla is a Turkish second-hand marketplace application that lets users photograph, list, and sell used items and buy from others across Turkey. According to its official website, the platform positions itself as "Türkiye'nin en iyi ikinci el alışveriş uygulaması" (Turkey's best second-hand shopping app), emphasizing safe buying and selling, fast delivery, and the slogan "Sakla, paylaş, sat" (save, share, sell) — turning old items into cash and dreams into reality. The service is designed around a mobile-first experience, with apps distributed through Google Play and the App Store. The core feature set includes easy listing creation (take a photo, set a price, publish in seconds), fast selling with an integrated address system, instant messaging between buyer and seller for direct negotiation, and smart search with filtering by category, price, and location. The company advertises free and unlimited listings with no commission, 24/7 support, and buyer-and-seller protection. Its about page states that Sakla was founded in 2025 to change Turkey's sustainable consumption habits, and that as of 2026 it had given hundreds of products a second life. The platform reports active listings across 81 provinces and describes itself as serving hundreds of users worldwide. Sakla's stated mission is to connect unused goods with new owners, benefiting both people's wallets and the planet. It frames every second-hand transaction as a step toward sustainability: reducing carbon footprint, preventing textile waste, and contributing to the circular economy. The company's roadmap includes an App Store launch, payment infrastructure integration, and expansion into overseas markets. Sakla is a young, privately held startup with no publicly disclosed parent company, owner, or founder names in the available evidence. Its identity is that of a consumer marketplace platform brand rather than a manufacturer or retailer of its own goods. The brand competes in Turkey's growing second-hand and recommerce market, where mobile apps such as Dolap and Letgo have established significant user bases. Sakla differentiates itself through a zero-commission model, nationwide coverage, and a sustainability-focused narrative.

Sakla's history, as described on its official website, begins in 2025 with the formation of the idea. The founding team observed that Turkey's second-hand market was fragmented and disorganized, and decided to build a safe and modern platform to address it. The company states it was founded in 2025 to change Turkey's sustainable consumption habits. Development started in January 2026, when the first lines of code were written. The platform's foundations were built using React Native, Node.js, and Firebase, and an initial prototype was prepared. A closed beta phase followed in May 2026, during which the first user feedback was collected and the messaging and listing systems were improved. In June 2026, Sakla launched on the Google Play Store and began serving all 81 provinces of Turkey. An App Store waiting list was opened at the same time. The company reports that as of 2026 it had given hundreds of products a second life, with active listings across the country and hundreds of users worldwide. Looking ahead, Sakla's stated plans include an App Store launch, integration of payment infrastructure, and expansion into overseas markets. The brand remains a young, privately held startup with no publicly disclosed parent company, owner, or named founders in the available evidence.
