Our best advice for your precious metal
Don't just compare gold companies on an upfront quote alone. Check out of top tips to making sure you get the best value and no nasty surprises.
If another company’s quote seems too good to be true, talk to us about it. We can match it or help to point out any hidden catches that we know about. Don’t always trust gold-buying comparison sites to help with your decision - they often only list companies who pay to advertise or pay affiliate commissions.
Always read the terms and conditions and customer reviews before you send in your items. Filter and read the 1-star reviews - they may help to paint a picture as to how they operate.
Keep an eye on the live pricing and make sure if the price goes up on the day of receipt, so will your valuation. Most people are unsure what they’ve got, so make sure there are no testing fees and you know the cost and process of getting your items returned before you send them in.
“Don’t be afraid to ask for your items or precious stones back - find out how long the cooling off period is and that the return cost is fair, if any.”
Jon White, Gold Traders
There should be no difference in price for hallmarked and non-hallmarked gold.
If you need the money fast, make sure they process payments within 24 hours of receipt. Before you sell coins, get a base valuation from our pre-decimal silver coin valuation calculator, or review the list of gold coins we buy.
5.0 out of 5Exceptional service. Iâve used a few times before. Paid best prices and paid on same day as items received by them. Faultless.
