What exactly is there to control in the online market place? I can also open a shop and sell second hand phones(stolen or otherwise)
OLX is not a culprit, closing the platform will not stop anything.

I think this is something that we cannot easily control. So I say to you all - if you can afford that gadget, please also budget for it's insurance. Thieves will always be there, and they need money so they will always find ways to dispose of the stolen items, right? Think of the solution rather than concentrating on the problem.

There is also an international market that is probably bigger than the local one. Using a stolen phone in the country is very risky since cops easily get a hold of you via the telcos. Sell it to a Congolese or Ugandan guy on the other hand and the bureaucracy makes it harder.
My stolen phone is in use in Morogoro Tanzania.

The market is as big as OLX - where everything sells.
