Hamelyn

Hamelyn is a Spanish online platform that helps people sell pre-owned books and other media from home. Sellers use the Hamelyn app to scan a book’s ISBN or enter its title, then receive an instant price based on the market. The service accepts books across genres, including novels, essays, comics, and children’s and young adult literature, as well as CDs, vinyl records, DVDs, Blu-rays, and video games for multiple platforms.

Hamelyn aims to make selling straightforward: there are no listing fees or seller commissions, and customers do not need to photograph items or negotiate with buyers. Once a seller accepts an offer, they can prepare the items for collection. Hamelyn offers free home pickup across Spain, with the option to leave a parcel at a Celeritas drop-off point. After the shipment is received and checked, payment is sent within 24 hours, by bank transfer or PayPal. The company also promotes reuse, highlighting the environmental benefits of giving books and other media a second life.
