Brixton is one of London's most vibrant and culturally rich communities, and at 888 Bullion we are committed to making sure every resident has access to the best possible price when selling gold or silver. Too many people in Brixton and across South London sell their precious metals to local buyers and walk away with far less than their items are worth. We are here to change that.
We are specialist precious metals buyers based in Hatton Garden, with over 40 years of experience and an in-house refining operation that allows us to pay up to 98% of the live spot price. Our fully insured postal service means Brixton residents can sell from home, receive a transparent valuation and get paid the same day — without any of the pressure or uncertainty that often comes with selling in person.
We purchase all types of precious metals in any condition. Our buying team regularly acquires:
Whether your items are pristine or heavily worn, we assess each one individually using professional XRF testing equipment and live market data. You will always receive an honest valuation with a clear explanation of how we arrived at your price.
The gold buying market is not always transparent, and many sellers in Brixton have been offered prices that bear little relation to the actual value of their items. At 888 Bullion, we believe in complete transparency.
Every valuation we provide is based on three things: the weight of your items, their purity as determined by our XRF testing equipment, and the live spot price of gold or silver at the time of assessment. We will always show you exactly how we calculated your offer, and we will always beat a genuine competing quote.
Our in-house refining operation is what allows us to pay up to 98% of the live market value — significantly more than most local buyers, who typically pay between 50% and 70%.
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 with a clear record for both parties.
Pack your gold or silver carefully and send it to our Hatton Garden office using Royal Mail Special Delivery. Your parcel will be automatically insured up to £2,500 throughout the journey.
For items worth more than £2,500, please contact us before sending so we can arrange additional insurance cover. Your valuables are fully protected from the moment they leave Brixton until they arrive safely with our team.

We assess your items on arrival and transfer payment to your bank account — usually within 2 hours of completing our valuation.
We show you exactly how your valuation is calculated — the weight of your items, their purity as tested by our XRF equipment, and the live spot price at the time of assessment. There is no guesswork and no hidden deductions. We also operate a best-price guarantee: if you have a genuine written offer from another buyer, we will beat it.
Yes, absolutely. We buy gold and silver from all cultural backgrounds, including high-carat gold commonly found in African and Caribbean jewellery traditions. Our XRF testing identifies the exact purity of every item regardless of its origin or style.
That is not a problem. Our testing equipment identifies the precious metal content of your items accurately, even if they contain other materials. We value the precious metal content and provide a clear breakdown of our assessment.
You can sell a single item or a large collection — we treat every customer the same regardless of quantity. There is no minimum value or weight required to use our service.
If you choose not to accept our offer, we will return your items to you free of charge. There is no obligation to sell at any stage of the process.
