Got gold or silver you want to turn into cash in Croydon? 888 Bullion is one of the UK's most established precious metals buyers, and we make the selling process genuinely simple — fair prices, fast payment and no unnecessary complications.
We are based in Hatton Garden and have been buying gold and silver for more than 40 years. Our fully insured postal service means Croydon residents can sell from home and receive payment the very same day their items are assessed.
We do not believe in lowball offers or confusing processes. Every customer gets a transparent valuation based on live market prices and professional XRF testing — nothing more, nothing less.
We purchase a comprehensive range of precious metals, regardless of condition or quantity:
Scratched, broken, bent or tarnished — it does not matter. The value is in the metal itself, and we assess every item on that basis.
We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. That figure is not a marketing claim — it is a direct result of how we operate.
Unlike most buyers who simply melt precious metals for scrap, we run our own refining operation and repurpose quality gold into new jewellery and bullion products. This sustainable approach reduces our costs and allows us to pass significantly more value back to the people who sell to us.
The result? Croydon sellers consistently receive more from 888 Bullion than from any local jeweller, pawnbroker or cash-for-gold service. And if you have a quote from elsewhere, we will beat it.
We understand that when you decide to sell, you want your money quickly. That is why we prioritise fast payment above everything else. Once your items arrive and have been tested, we aim to transfer funds within 2 hours — and we guarantee payment within 24 hours in every case.
Payment is made exclusively by UK bank transfer. Straightforward, secure and immediate.
