About the Platform

Scarborough Classifieds & Electronics delivers a curated online marketplace where local residents can buy electronics, furniture, and household items. Unlike broad platforms like Facebook Marketplace, this service focuses exclusively on Toronto’s east end, prioritizing neighbourhood connections in areas including Woburn, Malvern, Scarborough Village, and Scarborough Junction.

Building on the proven model of its parent site, which has been selling across eBay, Kijiji and Craigslist since 2003 near the Highway 7 and 48 intersection in Markham, the expansion brings the same reliability and safety-first approach to the east end market.

Both the Cedarbrae Centre and Markham locations operate strictly by appointment, with meetups scheduled between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm to ensure safe transactions and reduce no-shows common on unstructured platforms.

The company also hints at a forthcoming nationwide expansion with TrueNorthClassifieds.ca, a homegrown Canadian alternative to U.S.-based marketplaces.

Key Features
– Structured meetups: All transactions occur by appointment at Cedarbrae Centre or the Markham location between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm
– Curated inventory: Categories include used electronics, desktop computers, laptops, furniture, outdoor gear, phones, gaming equipment, and home essentials
– Safety-first approach: Appointment-only system eliminates ghosting, lowball offers, and safety risks associated with unverified buyers

Supporting the East End Community

“East Toronto residents deserve a marketplace that prioritizes safety, reliability, and genuine local connections,” says Alexander Velitchko, the owner of Scarborough Classifieds & Electronics. “With more than two decades’ experience selling online, we’ve eliminated the frustration of no-shows and scams that plague other platforms. This is a marketplace built for real people making real local transactions.”

The platform directly addresses pain points Toronto-area sellers have reported about Facebook Marketplace and similar services, including excessive inquiries from bots, ghosting, and safety concerns with unverified strangers. The appointment-based model ensures both parties commit to transactions, creating a more dependable experience.

Black Friday Launch and National Expansion

Timed strategically for the holiday shopping season, the marketplace launch aims to capture buyers seeking electronics deals, furniture, and seasonal inventory while offering sellers a reliable channel to move merchandise.

Looking ahead, the company is preparing to launch TrueNorthClassifieds.ca—a nationwide platform that will extend the localized, safety-focused model across Canada, challenging the dominance of international marketplace giants.
