Stevenage is Hertfordshire's largest town and the UK's first post-war new town — a place built on practical thinking and getting things done. At 888 Bullion, we offer a gold and silver buying service that reflects those same values: straightforward, efficient and delivering the best possible return without any unnecessary complications.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience in the precious metals market. Stevenage's fast rail connection to London means the city is never far away — but with our fully insured postal service, you do not need to make the journey. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver, we assess every item using professional XRF technology and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
If you have gold or silver you are ready to sell, we offer the most practical and rewarding way to do it.
We purchase all types of gold, silver, platinum and palladium 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 full explanation of how we arrived at your price.
Stevenage has a number of local gold buyers, but the prices they offer are rarely competitive with what is available through a specialist buyer. Most local buyers pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver — a significant shortfall that many sellers are simply not aware of.
At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price. Our in-house refining operation is what makes this possible. We 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 pass a far greater proportion of the value back to 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 in Stevenage, 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.
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 Stevenage until they arrive safely with our team.

Yes. Stevenage has a significant industrial and manufacturing base, and we regularly buy precious metal scrap and offcuts from businesses in the area. We can handle ongoing buying arrangements for businesses that regularly produce precious metal waste, and we provide detailed documentation for each transaction.
Broken jewellery and pieces with missing stones are among the most common items we buy. The value is entirely in the precious metal content, not the condition or completeness of the piece. A broken 18 carat gold bracelet is worth exactly the same per gram as an intact one.
Yes. White gold is an alloy of gold and other white metals such as palladium or nickel, and it contains the same gold content per carat as yellow gold. Our XRF testing identifies the gold content of white gold items accurately, and we pay based on the gold content and the live spot price.
Yes. Our entire service is no-obligation. You send your items, we provide a full and transparent valuation, and you decide whether to accept or decline. If you decline, we return your items to you free of charge. There is no pressure and no cost to you at any stage.
