What you can find locally on the Letgo app

---

Remember the days when you had to get up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday to go garage sale-ing? While you can still find plenty of weekend garage sales, now you can also hunt for secondhand treasures from the comfort of your bed at 11:30 p.m. on a Tuesday.

On Letgo, you can find everything from iPads and cars to tickets to this week’s Varsity Theatre concert. The app is like an image-driven version of Craigslist, and according to Letgo head of communications Jonathan Lowe, it has been downloaded to more than 75 million devices globally. In addition to online thrift shopping, you can also use it make a few extra bucks selling your stuff.
