Billericay is a prosperous and well-regarded Essex town, and the people who live here deserve a gold and silver buying service that reflects those standards. At 888 Bullion, we offer Billericay sellers a professional, transparent and highly rewarding alternative to local buyers — one that consistently pays far more for your precious metals.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience, and our fully insured postal service means you can access the best gold and silver prices in the UK without leaving Billericay. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price, we use professional XRF testing to assess every item accurately and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
Selling precious metals does not have to mean accepting less than your items are worth. With 888 Bullion, it never does.
We purchase all types of gold, silver, platinum and palladium in any condition or quantity. Our buying team regularly acquires:
Every item is assessed individually using professional XRF testing equipment and live market data. You will always receive a transparent valuation with a full explanation of how we arrived at your price.
Most people who sell gold or silver to a local buyer assume they are getting a reasonable price. In reality, most local buyers in and around Billericay pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value. The remaining 30% to 50% goes to the buyer as margin.
At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price. The reason we can do this is our in-house refining operation, which allows us to process precious metals sustainably and efficiently. We repurpose quality gold into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping it, which reduces our costs and allows us to pass a far greater proportion of the value back to the people who sell to us.
We also back every transaction with a best-price guarantee. If you have a genuine written offer from any 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. Every customer receives payment within 24 hours of us receiving their items, without exception.
We pay by bank transfer only — fast, secure and completely traceable. No cheques, no delays.

If your items contain gold, silver, platinum or palladium, they almost certainly have value. Even small amounts of scrap gold or a single broken chain can be worth more than you might expect. The best way to find out is to send your items to us — we will assess them accurately and provide a full valuation. There is no obligation to sell.
Yes. Repairs, alterations and resizing do not affect the precious metal content of your items. Our XRF testing identifies the actual metal content regardless of any work that has been done to the piece.
We process precious metals through our in-house refining operation. Quality gold is repurposed into new jewellery and bullion products, while other material is refined and returned to the market. We take a sustainable approach to precious metal recycling that minimises waste and maximises value.
Yes. We buy silver in all forms, including cutlery, candlesticks, trays, tea sets and other silverware. We assess the silver content of each item using our XRF equipment and value it based on the live silver spot price. Sterling silver (92.5%) and other grades are all purchased.
That is entirely up to you. You only need to send the items you wish to sell. We will assess each item individually and provide a breakdown of the valuation. You can choose to accept the offer for all items, some items or none at all.
