Epping is a charming and well-heeled Essex market town on the edge of one of London's most beautiful green spaces, and at 888 Bullion we are proud to offer its residents a gold and silver buying service that matches the quality of the area. Whether you are selling a single piece of inherited jewellery or a carefully assembled collection of 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. Epping's position on the Central line means London is never far away — but with our fully insured postal service, you do not need to make the journey. We bring Hatton Garden prices directly to your door, and we pay the same day your items are assessed.
We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. For Epping sellers, that represents a significant improvement on what most local buyers can offer.
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.
The villages and towns around Epping have a scattering of local gold buyers, but the prices they offer rarely reflect the true value of your items. Most local buyers 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, we will beat it.
We understand that selling precious metals is a personal matter, and we handle every transaction 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. Your valuables are fully protected from the moment they leave Epping until they arrive safely with our team.

Yes. We regularly work with individuals, solicitors and estate agents managing clearances in the Epping area and across the Essex countryside. We can handle large quantities of mixed precious metals and provide detailed documentation for each transaction, which is particularly useful for probate purposes.
Gold Sovereigns have a well-established bullion value based on their gold content, and we pay very close to the live spot price for them. Some Sovereigns — particularly older or rarer dates — may also have numismatic value above their gold content. If you believe your coins may be rare or collectible, we would recommend consulting a specialist coin dealer as well as obtaining our valuation.
Yes. We are active buyers of palladium, which is used in catalytic converters and certain types of jewellery. We assess palladium using the same XRF testing process as gold and silver and pay based on the live palladium spot price at the time of assessment.
We value the precious metal content of your items. Gemstones are not included in our valuation, as their value depends on factors such as cut, clarity and certification that require specialist assessment. If your jewellery contains significant gemstones, we would recommend also consulting a specialist jeweller or gemologist.
You are welcome to contact us by telephone and we will arrange your gold pack over the phone. We are committed to making the process accessible and straightforward for all of our customers, regardless of how they prefer to communicate.
