If you have precious metals you are ready to sell, we make the process simple, secure and significantly more rewarding than selling locally.

Broxbourne is known for its peaceful riverside setting, but when it comes to paying our customers, we move quickly. 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.

We pay by bank transfer only — fast, secure and completely traceable.
Most local buyers in and around Broxbourne pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver. At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98%. The difference comes from 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 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.

Yes. We regularly work with people who are selling precious metals as part of a broader financial decision — whether that is releasing equity, supplementing retirement income or simply rationalising assets they no longer need. We handle all transactions with complete discretion and can provide written documentation of the valuation if required.
XRF (X-ray fluorescence) testing uses a beam of X-rays to excite the atoms in your items and measure the energy they emit, which identifies the precise elemental composition of the metal. It is completely non-destructive — unlike acid testing, which involves applying corrosive chemicals to the surface of your items and can cause minor damage. XRF gives a more accurate reading and leaves your items in exactly the same condition as when they arrived.
Yes. Gold and silver received as payment, barter or in any other way can be sold to us. We assess the precious metal content of your items and pay based on the live market price, regardless of how you originally acquired them.
Yes. We understand that people sell precious metals for many different reasons, and we treat every customer with the same level of respect and professionalism regardless of their circumstances. Our service is designed to be as fast and straightforward as possible, which is particularly important when speed matters.
Higher carat gold contains a greater proportion of pure gold, so it is worth more per gram. However, the total value of your items depends on both the carat and the weight. A large piece of 9 carat gold can be worth more in total than a small piece of 22 carat gold. We assess every item individually and calculate your payout based on the actual gold content, so you always receive the correct value regardless of the carat.
