Gold and silver hold real value — but only if you sell to the right buyer. If you are based in Ruislip and want to make sure you receive a price that genuinely reflects what your precious metals are worth, 888 Bullion is the service you have been looking for.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with more than 40 years of experience in the gold and silver market. Our fully insured postal buying service is available to everyone in Ruislip and across West London, and it has been designed from the ground up to be simple, secure and rewarding.
We do not believe in complicated processes or opaque pricing. Every customer receives a valuation based on live market data, professional testing and our genuine commitment to paying the best rates in the UK.
One of the most common questions we hear from Ruislip sellers is: how do I know I am getting a fair price? The answer lies in how we calculate our valuations.
We use professional XRF (X-ray fluorescence) technology to determine the exact purity of your items without causing any damage. We then weigh your items precisely and calculate your payout using the live spot price of gold or silver at the time of assessment. Every step of this process is transparent, and we are always happy to explain our valuation in full.
We purchase all types of precious metals, including:
Most gold buyers pay between 50% and 80% of the live market value. We regularly pay up to 98%. The reason for this difference comes down to how we process the precious metals we buy.
Rather than simply melting your gold for scrap, we run our own in-house refining operation and repurpose quality precious metals into new jewellery and bullion products. This sustainable approach significantly reduces our costs and allows us to pass a much greater proportion of the value back to the people who sell to us.
The result is a price that Ruislip sellers consistently find far exceeds what they were offered locally. And if you have a written quote from another buyer, we will beat it.
We aim to transfer payment to your UK bank account within 2 hours of completing our assessment. In every case, payment is guaranteed within 24 hours of us receiving your items.
All payments are made by bank transfer — fast, traceable and completely secure.
