Want to sell gold or silver in Barking and Dagenham and get a genuinely great price? 888 Bullion is one of the UK's most trusted precious metals buyers, with over 40 years of experience and a Hatton Garden base that puts us at the centre of London's gold trade.
We offer a fully insured postal service that makes selling from Barking straightforward and secure. No appointments, no travel, no pressure — just honest valuations, competitive prices and fast same-day payment.
Whether you are selling a single gold ring or a collection of silver bullion, we treat every customer and every item with the same level of care and professionalism.
We purchase all types of gold, silver, platinum and palladium, regardless of condition or quantity. Our team regularly buys:
Every item is tested using professional XRF equipment and valued against the live market price, so you always receive an accurate and transparent assessment.
We consistently pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. This is made possible by our in-house refining operation, which allows us to process precious metals sustainably and efficiently — repurposing quality gold into new products rather than simply scrapping it.
The result is that we can afford to pay significantly more than local jewellers, pawnbrokers and cash-for-gold services. And if you have already received a quote from another buyer, we will beat it.
Once your items arrive at our Hatton Garden office and have been assessed, we aim to transfer payment to your UK bank account within 2 hours. In all cases, payment is completed within 24 hours.
We pay exclusively by bank transfer — fast, secure and with a clear record for both parties.
Our postal service is simple to use. Pack your items carefully and send them to us using Royal Mail Special Delivery, which automatically insures your parcel up to £2,500 during transit.
For items worth more than £2,500, contact us before sending and we will arrange appropriate additional cover. Your valuables are fully protected from the moment they leave Barking until they arrive safely with our team.
