Borehamwood is a thriving Hertfordshire town with a rich cultural history and a diverse, growing community. Best known as the home of some of Britain's most famous film and television studios, it is a town that understands the value of quality production — and at 888 Bullion, we bring that same standard of quality to the way we buy gold and silver.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience in the precious metals market. Our fully insured postal service gives Borehamwood residents direct access to the best gold and silver prices in the UK, without any need to travel. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price, we assess every item using professional XRF technology and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
Selling precious metals should be as smooth and professional as any well-run production. With 888 Bullion, it always is.
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 clear explanation of how we arrived at your price.
Most local buyers in and around Borehamwood pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver. At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98%. That is not a marginal improvement — on a typical sale it can mean hundreds of pounds more in your pocket.
Our in-house refining operation is what makes this possible. We repurpose quality precious metals into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping them, which reduces our costs and allows us to share a far greater proportion of the value with 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.

We buy items based on their precious metal content. Genuine gold and silver items used in film or television production are purchased at the same rates as any other precious metal. Costume jewellery and props made from non-precious materials do not contain precious metals and are not purchased. Our XRF testing will quickly identify which items contain genuine precious metals.
Yes. We buy silver coins from the UK and internationally, including recognised bullion coins and older circulated coins from a wide range of countries. We assess each coin based on its silver content and the live silver spot price. For coins that may have numismatic or collector value above their silver content, we would recommend also consulting a specialist coin dealer.
Yes. Previous repairs, restorations or alterations do not affect our assessment. Our XRF testing identifies the actual precious metal content of your items independently, regardless of any work that has been carried out on them.
Gold is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset, and its price tends to rise during periods of economic uncertainty, geopolitical tension or currency weakness. Gold is currently trading at historically elevated levels. Whether to sell now or wait is a personal decision, and we are always happy to provide a no-obligation valuation so you can make an informed choice without any pressure.
We pay by UK bank transfer only. If you do not currently have a UK bank account, we would recommend opening one before using our service, as this is the only payment method we offer. Many UK banks and challenger banks offer straightforward account opening processes that can be completed quickly online.
