What happened to letgo?

Looking for the letgo app or website? Here is what changed, and where to buy and sell used stuff now.

Short answer: in 2020, letgo's business in the United States joined OfferUp. The letgo app and website stopped working in the US, and US users were moved to OfferUp. Today the letgo app mainly serves Turkey. If you are in the US or elsewhere, the places below are where people buy and sell used stuff now.

Is letgo still available in the USA?

No. letgo was one of the most popular apps for selling used things locally: phones, furniture, cars, baby gear. In 2020 its US marketplace was combined with OfferUp, which was the other big local selling app. That is why searching for "letgo" on Google Play in the US shows other apps, and why the old letgo website no longer opens a US marketplace.

The best place depends on where you live and what you sell. These are the big local marketplaces:

Clothes and shoes often sell faster on fashion apps; phones and electronics often get better prices where buyers can ship, like eBay or Mercari.

Before you sell: price it, list it, stay safe

1. Check what it is worth

Look at what the same model sells for used right now. Price a little above the lowest price you would accept, so buyers can make an offer. Too high and nobody writes; too low and you lose money.

2. Write a clear listing

Put the brand, model and size in the title. In the description say the condition honestly, what is included, any flaws, and where you can meet. Good light and a plain background make photos sell.

3. Watch for scam messages

Questions people ask

Does letgo still exist?
The letgo brand still runs in Turkey. In the United States it is gone: its US business joined OfferUp in 2020.
Is OfferUp the same as letgo?
Not the same company at the start, but in the US the two marketplaces were combined in 2020, so OfferUp is where most former letgo buyers and sellers went.
Why can I not find the letgo app on Google Play?
In the US and many other countries the official letgo app is not offered any more. Apps you see with a similar name are made by other companies, like the one on this page.
What is the best app to sell used stuff near me?
