Romford is one of East London's busiest and most established towns, and at 888 Bullion we are committed to making sure its residents receive the best possible price when selling gold or silver. If you have precious metals sitting unused at home, our service offers a fast, secure and genuinely rewarding way to turn them into cash.
We are specialist precious metals buyers based in Hatton Garden, with over 40 years of experience and an in-house refining operation that sets us apart from virtually every other buyer in the UK. We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver — a figure that most local buyers simply cannot come close to matching.
Our fully insured postal service is available to everyone in Romford and across East London. You send your items to us, we assess them the same day and we pay you within hours. It really is that simple.
We are active buyers of all types of gold, silver, platinum and palladium, in any condition and any quantity. Items we regularly purchase include:
Every item is assessed individually using professional XRF testing equipment and live market data. You will always receive a transparent valuation with a full explanation of how we arrived at your price.
Not all gold buyers are equal, and the difference in what they pay can be significant. Most local buyers in Romford — jewellers, pawnbrokers and cash-for-gold shops — pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value. At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98%.
This is not a marketing claim — it is a direct result of how we operate. Our in-house refining operation 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 pass a far greater proportion of the value back to the people who sell to us.
We also operate a best-price guarantee. If you have a genuine written offer from another 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. No cheques, no delays, no complications.
Pack your items carefully and send them 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 Romford 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.
Selling by post to 888 Bullion typically results in a significantly higher payout than visiting a local buyer. Local buyers have high overheads and limited buying power, which means they can only afford to pay a fraction of the live market value. Our in-house refining operation allows us to pay up to 98% — a difference that can amount to hundreds of pounds on a typical sale.
You can include gold coins, jewellery, bullion and other precious metals in the same parcel. We will assess and value each item individually and provide a complete breakdown of your payout. Gold coins such as Sovereigns and Britannias are among the items we buy most frequently.
Yes. We are active buyers of silver jewellery, silver coins, silver Britannias and silver bullion bars. Silver can be included in the same parcel as gold items.
Previous valuations are not binding, and prices change with the market. We will assess your items fresh using the live spot price at the time of testing. If you have a written offer from another buyer, we will beat it.
No. If you choose not to accept our offer, we will return your items to you free of charge. There are no fees, no postage costs and no obligation at any stage of the process.
