Tilbury is a working port town with a proud history and a tight-knit community, and at 888 Bullion we believe every resident deserves access to the best possible price when selling gold or silver — not just those who live close to a major city buyer.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience in the precious metals market, and our fully insured postal service puts those Hatton Garden prices within reach of everyone in Tilbury. You do not need to travel, you do not need an appointment and you do not need to accept a fraction of what your items are worth. You simply pack your items, post them to us and receive payment the same day they are assessed.
We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. For most Tilbury sellers, that is significantly more than anything available locally.
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.
Access to the best gold prices should not depend on where you live. Yet the reality is that most local buyers in and around Tilbury pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver. That gap — between what your items are worth and what you are offered — goes straight into the buyer's pocket.
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, wherever they are in the UK.
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. No cheques, no waiting around.
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 Tilbury until they arrive safely with our team.
