Buckhurst Hill is one of Essex's most desirable addresses — a leafy, affluent village on the edge of Epping Forest with a strong sense of community and excellent connections to London via the Central line. At 888 Bullion, we offer residents a gold and silver buying service that reflects the high standards of the area: professional, discreet and consistently delivering the best possible return 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 Buckhurst Hill. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price, we use professional XRF technology to assess every item accurately and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
For Buckhurst Hill sellers with fine jewellery, investment bullion or inherited collections, the difference between selling to 888 Bullion and selling to a local buyer can be very significant indeed.
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.
Buckhurst Hill's position on the Central line means Hatton Garden is just a short tube ride away. But with our fully insured postal service, you do not need to make that journey. We bring Hatton Garden prices directly to your door, and the process is faster and more convenient than visiting us in person.
We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. Most local buyers pay between 50% and 70%. 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.
We understand that selling high-value precious metals is a matter many people prefer to handle privately. All transactions with 888 Bullion 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.
Pack your gold or silver carefully and send it to our Hatton Garden office using Royal Mail Special Delivery, which automatically insures your parcel up to £2,500 during transit.
For items worth more than £2,500, please contact us before sending so we can arrange additional insurance cover or discuss bespoke collection arrangements. Your valuables are fully protected from the moment they leave Buckhurst Hill 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 value gold coins based on their precious metal content and the live spot price at the time of assessment. Common bullion coins such as Gold Sovereigns and Gold Britannias are valued very close to the live spot price. For rarer or older coins that may have numismatic value above their gold content, we would recommend also consulting a specialist coin dealer to ensure you receive the full value of your collection.
Yes. We are active buyers of platinum jewellery, including rings, wedding bands, bracelets and other pieces. Platinum is assessed using the same professional XRF testing process as gold and silver, and we pay based on the live platinum spot price at the time of assessment.
Yes. We buy investment gold in all forms, including gold bars and coins purchased through investment schemes. If your gold is held in a third-party vault or storage facility, please contact us to discuss the most appropriate way to proceed.
For standard transactions, you will need to provide proof of identity and address as part of our anti-money laundering compliance process. We will guide you through this when you contact us. The process is straightforward and we handle all documentation securely and confidentially.
No. We buy single items and large collections alike. For very high-value consignments, we can arrange bespoke insured collection and provide detailed documentation for each item. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will advise on the best approach.
