Sell Gold in Wiltshire

Looking to sell gold in Wiltshire? You're in the right place. Gold Traders is based in Royal Wootton Bassett, right in the heart of the county, and we've paid local people fair, honest prices for their gold for years.

You can visit us in person or send your gold safely by post. Either way, you'll see exactly what we pay before you decide anything. We were the first precious metals company in the UK to earn Trading Standards' Buy With Confidence approval, so you know you're in safe hands.

Today's gold prices we pay in Wiltshire

The price we pay for gold changes every day, because it follows the live market. To keep things clear, we show you the actual price we pay per gram for each purity, updated in real time.

Carat Hallmark Purity Price we pay per gram
9ct 375 37.5% £33.64
14ct 585 58.5% £52.47
15ct 625 62.5% £56.06
18ct 750 75.0% £67.28
22ct 916 91.6% £82.17
24ct 999 99.9% £89.70

Prices update automatically and show the real rate we pay, not just the market spot price.

The higher the carat, the more pure gold your item holds, and the more it's worth per gram. Not sure what carat your gold is? Our Hallmark Wizard helps you check in seconds.

How we work out your payout

Three things decide what your gold is worth: its purity (the carat), its weight in grams, and the live market price on the day.

We weigh your gold, check its purity, then multiply by our price per gram. That's it. No hidden fees, and no guesswork.

Prices we pay for gold coins

We also buy gold coins from customers across Wiltshire, from a single sovereign to a full bullion collection. Here's what we pay for some of the most common coins.

Coin Gold content Price we pay
Half Sovereign 3.99g, 22ct £341.94
Full Sovereign 7.98g, 22ct £683.89

Always check the price per gram before you sell

Here's the most useful tip we can give you. Before you accept any offer, from us or anyone else, make sure you know the price per gram you're being paid.

Some gold buyers make this hard to work out. They might show the live "spot" price in big letters, then quietly pay you a much smaller share of it. Others won't give a per gram rate at all, and only hand you a single lump-sum figure.

Three questions to ask any gold buyer

A fair buyer has nothing to hide. Ask these before you sell:

  1. What price per gram are you paying for my carat of gold?
  2. How does that compare to today's market price?
  3. Will you show me the weight and the sums behind my offer?

If a buyer won't answer clearly, that's your sign to pause. We publish both the live market rate and the rate we actually pay, so you can compare before you commit.

Use our calculator to check any offer against the real numbers. It only takes a minute, and it could save you a lot.
