  • Tue 14 Oct 2025 : We are now paying SPOT on ALL silver bullion.

    Due to exceptional volatility in the silver market, refineries have temporarily paused silver processing. This is the result of silver leasing costs reaching 100%, making short-term refining uneconomical across the entire industry. As a result, we're currently unable to buy SCRAP silver at our usual rates. This situation is beyond our control and is affecting all precious metal dealers, not just us. Please note that our gold buying rates remain completely unaffected and continue as normal.

    I can highly recommend this company came across Gold Traders whilst looking for a company that would give me a good return on a gold item I had no use and they came up with the best quote. The exchange went flawlessly from start to finish and the money was in my bank within a couple of hours of their given quote via an email."

    Highly Recommended! The application process was very easy and payment was within a few days of posting straight into bank account.

    The final amount was more than the quote with no quibbles for a broken scrap necklace including some small bits and dust. Very good rate paid.

    Very impressed, would definitely use again and recommend to anyone. Thank you!"

    Really good prompt service.
    As soon as they received my goods I received an email saying it had arrived safely. Valuation was done within a few hours and the money in my account by the end of the day. Very happy with the process and price."

  • "5.0 out of 5
    I was a little apprehensive at the prospect of selling some valuables on line; where to start and who to conduct business with. I opted for Gold Traders UK having researched the company background and read some of the overwhelmingly positive experiences of other users. I was not disappointed.
    From an initial telephone conversation with an advisor through to payout a mere 24 hours later, the company exemplified professionalism. The selling process is straightforward, with the overarching offer to contact the Company at any stage should there be queries. Delighted with the service and have no hesitation in recommending them to other potential users."
