Walthamstow has become one of North East London's most exciting and fast-growing communities, and at 888 Bullion we are proud to offer its residents a gold and silver buying service that matches that energy — straightforward, transparent and genuinely rewarding.
If you have gold or silver sitting at home that you no longer need, we offer one of the most competitive buying services in the UK. We are based in Hatton Garden and have been purchasing precious metals for over 40 years. Our fully insured postal service means Walthamstow residents can sell from home and receive payment the same day their items are assessed.
We do not believe in vague offers or unexplained deductions. Every customer receives a clear valuation based on live market prices and professional testing, and we always pay the best possible price.
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 full explanation of how we arrived at your price.
The gold buying market can be confusing, and it is easy to accept a price that sounds reasonable without knowing whether it truly reflects the value of your items. At 888 Bullion, we make the process completely transparent.
We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. Most local buyers pay between 50% and 70%. That gap exists because 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, which 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 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.
Pack your gold or silver carefully and send it to our Hatton Garden office using Royal Mail Special Delivery. Your parcel will be automatically insured up to £2,500 throughout the journey.
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 Walthamstow until they arrive safely with our team.

Send it to us. We will assess every item accurately using our XRF testing equipment and provide a full breakdown of your valuation. You are under no obligation to accept our offer, and if you decide not to sell, we will return everything to you free of charge.
The age of your gold does not affect its value to us. We buy based on metal content, not age or style. Whether your items are Victorian, mid-century or modern, we will assess the precious metal content and pay accordingly.
Yes. We are active buyers of investment gold, including gold bars, gold coins, Gold Sovereigns and Gold Britannias. These are among the most straightforward items to value and sell, and we regularly pay very close to the live spot price for them.
There is no minimum. We buy single items and large collections alike. Every customer receives the same level of service and the same commitment to the best possible price, regardless of the quantity they are selling.
Royal Mail Special Delivery is a fully tracked service. You will receive a tracking number when you post your parcel, which you can use to monitor its progress online. We will also confirm receipt as soon as your items arrive with us.
