Sorry, I misread your statement.

Yes, some sellers to take USD. What I would do is bargain in Lira to get the best possible price. Once you arrive at a final price, ask them what rate they give for USD. If you are unhappy with their rate, tell them to hold on to the goods while you quickly go and convert at a money changer.
