Unlike so-called 'free' envelope services, or travelling gold valuation roadshows, that often promise convenience but deliver below-market payouts, we believe in keeping everything clear from the start, so you can sell your gold with confidence.

    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."

    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."

    I am really impressed with this company. They have been professional, honest and kept me informed every step of the way, and their website is really easy to use. I sold some scrap 9 CT gold jewellery and received payment within 24 hours of posting. I would not hesitate in using this company again. Very very impressed."

    I had a lot of pre 1947 Halfcrowns, florins, Shilling etc so I filled in the online form and posted the items yesterday the 29th and they arrived this morning and my payment was deposited this afternoon. Very easy to do and very impressed with the service so I would definitely use Gold Traders again."
