Kings Langley is a charming and historic Hertfordshire village with royal connections stretching back to the medieval period. It is a place with a strong sense of heritage and community, and at 888 Bullion we offer its residents a gold and silver buying service that is worthy of that history — expert, trustworthy and delivering the best possible return for your precious metals.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience in the precious metals market. Our fully insured postal service gives Kings Langley residents direct access to the best gold and silver prices in the UK, without any need to travel. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price, we assess every item using professional XRF technology and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
From a single inherited ring to a carefully assembled bullion collection, we treat every item and every seller with the same level of care and professionalism.
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.
Kings Langley has long been associated with quality and distinction, and we believe the price you receive for your gold and silver should reflect that same standard. Most local buyers in the area pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver — a significant shortfall that many sellers simply accept without question.
At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price. Our in-house refining operation allows us to process precious metals sustainably and efficiently, repurposing quality gold into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping it. This 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.
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.

Yes. Kings Langley and the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside have many older properties that may contain antique jewellery, silverware and inherited precious metals accumulated over generations. We buy all types of gold and silver regardless of age or origin, and we assess every item based on its precious metal content and the live market price.
That is entirely a personal decision, and we would never pressure anyone to sell an item with sentimental significance. What we can offer is a no-obligation valuation so you know exactly what your item is worth financially. Many people find it helpful to know the value before making a decision, and you are always free to decline our offer and have your item returned at no cost.
Yes. We assess each metal component of mixed metal items individually. If a piece contains both gold and silver, we will identify and value each element separately using our XRF testing equipment and provide a full breakdown of the valuation.
Both gold and silver are priced per troy ounce on global commodity markets, but silver trades at a significantly lower price per ounce than gold. The gold-to-silver ratio — the number of ounces of silver required to buy one ounce of gold — fluctuates over time and is widely watched by precious metals investors. We pay based on the live spot price of each metal at the time of assessment, ensuring you always receive a current and accurate valuation for both gold and silver items.
Yes. Gold and silver stored in a bank safety deposit box can be retrieved and sent to us using our postal service. For very high-value items, please contact us before sending so we can arrange appropriate insurance cover for the full value of your consignment.
