Brentwood is one of Essex's most affluent and well-connected towns, and at 888 Bullion we are here to make sure its residents receive a price for their gold and silver that truly reflects that value. Whether you are selling a single piece of fine jewellery or a collection of investment bullion, we offer a service that is professional, discreet and consistently rewarding.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience in the precious metals market. Brentwood's excellent transport links to London mean Hatton Garden is closer than you might think — but with our fully insured postal service, you do not even need to make the journey. We bring Hatton Garden prices directly to your door.
We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver, we assess every item using professional XRF technology and we pay the same day your items are received. It is the most rewarding way to sell precious metals from Brentwood.
We purchase all types of precious metals 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.
Brentwood has a number of local gold buyers, but the prices they offer rarely match the quality of the town itself. Most high street buyers — jewellers, pawnbrokers and cash-for-gold shops — pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver.
At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98%. This is made possible by our in-house refining operation, which allows us to repurpose quality precious metals into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping them. This sustainable approach 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 in Brentwood or elsewhere, we will beat it.
We understand that selling precious metals — particularly high-value items — is a matter that many people prefer to handle privately. At 888 Bullion, all transactions are conducted with complete discretion. Your personal details and the details of your sale are never shared with third parties.
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.

Thousands of customers across the UK use our postal service every year, and your items are fully protected throughout the journey.
We buy precious metals based on their metal content. If your watch or watch parts are made from gold, silver or platinum, we will assess and value the precious metal content. Watch movements and non-precious components are not included in our valuation.

Gold prices fluctuate based on global economic conditions, and there is no single best time to sell. Gold is currently trading at historically high levels, which means many sellers are choosing to act now. We are always happy to provide a no-obligation valuation so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
For very high-value consignments, we can discuss bespoke collection arrangements. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will advise on the most appropriate and secure option for your situation.
