How to Sell Scrap Gold
Get an instant price for your scrap gold
Visit our ‘Sell Scrap Gold’ page and select the carat (purity) of the gold you wish to sell. If you are unsure, simply choose the ‘Unknown Purity Gold’ option. You will then be taken to the product page, where you can see the current price we are paying per gram. Enter the weight of your items in grams and click ‘add to package’.
A pop-up confirmation window will show the purity, weight, and the current value of your gold. You can then choose to add more items, or head to ‘your package’ to review everything before checking out.
Once you are happy to continue, complete the online sale to lock in your price for two business days*. Before confirming your sale, you will be asked to check your contact details, enter your bank details for payment, choose how you would like to get your gold to us, and accept our Terms and Conditions.
Sending your gold to us
You have two convenient options for sending your scrap gold to us.
You can post your items using Royal Mail Special Delivery, which provides insurance for parcels with a value of up to £2,500. If your sale is worth more than this, we would recommend splitting your gold across multiple parcels, so each one is fully insured.
Alternatively, you can arrange to drop your items off with us at our secure showroom in Sutton Coldfield. If you choose this option, we will contact you to arrange a convenient appointment.
During the checkout process, you will receive a pre-filled packing slip to print and include inside each of your parcels. We recommend ensuring that your items are securely packaged to help protect them during transit.
What happens after we receive your gold?
If you send your gold by post, we will notify you when it arrives with us. Our team will carefully inspect your items and calculate the amount of fine gold they contain before contacting you with your final quote.
Because scrap gold is purchased based on its fine gold content, some jewellery pieces may need to be dismantled, and any stones or non-precious materials removed to determine its true weight. This process is irreversible, so it is important to read and accept our Terms and Conditions before sending your items to us.
If you decide to accept our quote, payment is normally made directly to your bank account within three working days.
