LA METRALLETA, a store specialized in buying and selling vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, BLURAYs, and cassettes in Madrid.

If you've decided to sell your record collection, you're in the right place because we buy them at the best price.

You can visit us at our store, and without any obligation, we will appraise them. Or if you prefer, contact us, and we'll give you an initial assessment. However, to provide an accurate valuation, we need to examine each item individually and evaluate its condition.

At LA METRALLETA, we highly value covers that are not torn, bent, written on, or damp, and records, CDs, DVDs, BLURAYs, and cassettes that are in excellent condition, without scratches, scuffs, or damage.

Please note that we do not provide prices without seeing the records in person. If you provide the titles via email, phone, or through our contact form, we can confirm whether we are interested in them, but we cannot give you a price without seeing them.

Do you have a large collection?

To consider a home visit within the Madrid area, the collection must exceed 500 items and contain articles from the genres we are most interested in. If you live in another city in mainland Spain, contact us to evaluate the possibility of a visit. In all cases, it's important to provide us with details about the titles and the condition of the items to determine if a home appraisal is possible. This criterion can be flexible depending on the rarity or quality of the collection.

We are at your service!
