About Us

Hello and welcome!

My name is Ebru Menteş, and I’m the founder and business manager of turkrexcollectables.com. Long before I became a seller, I was a collector always searching, always saving. Even as a child, I loved the feeling of discovering something old, forgotten, or unusual. It has always been like a love story a deep appreciation for the beauty of the past and the joy of rediscovery.

Eventually, I realized this wasn’t just a personal habit it was a passion I wanted to share. What started as a private collection grew into a small business, built not on trends or mass-produced items, but on meaning, memory, and the magic of the past. Since 2009, I’ve been sharing this passion through eBay under the name of Turkrexrecords, where I connected thousands of rare and vintage treasures with passionate collectors around the world.

Now I’m opening a new chapter with turkrexcollectables.com. A space that i can welcome you more directly. Here you’ll find second hand and vintage records, books, comics, CDs, ephemera mostly produced in Turkey and a special selection of Ottoman-era maps and literature, rich with history and mystery. Each item in this store has been handpicked, often preserved for years, waiting for the right person to rediscover it.

I’m also an interior architect by profession, and I bring that artistic and aesthetic sensibility into everything I do. I believe that beauty and balance matter even in the way a record is packaged or a book is displayed. Every object tells a story, and I do my best to honor that story through thoughtful presentation and care.

TurkRex Collectables is where all these parts of me come together: the child who collected, the artist who designed, and the woman who now shares it all with others like you. Thank you for visiting and happy exploring!
