Hi folks,
I’m in Billingham and hoping to sell a few gold and silver items for cash. I’ve got a broken gold bracelet, a silver tankard, and some loose coins that turned up while clearing out a relative’s garage. I’ve had one offer already but it didn’t seem very transparent.
Any recommendations for honest buyers nearby?
I’m just over in Norton and sold a mix of items at Northern Bullion, including a 9ct gold ring, a silver pocket watch chain, and a small silver picture frame. Everything was tested and weighed in front of me which made the cash offer very clear.
I’d avoid auctions personally, they’re slow and the fees can really add up. I sold a silver cigarette case, a gold tie pin, and an old decorative candlestick recently and it was much quicker dealing directly once the items were properly tested.
I cleared my aunt’s house in Wolviston and found a silver medal, a gold signet ring, a desk seal, and a small trinket box. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave a decent estimate beforehand and the final valuation matched closely.
Definitely watch the testing process. I sold a silver pen, a gold cufflink pair, and an engraved letter opener recently and having everything explained made it far easier to trust the pricing.
Over the last year I’ve sold a really varied mix including 9ct gold rings, 18ct bracelets, 925 silver chains, bullion coins, antique silver items, engagement rings, silver cutlery, pocket watches, cigarette cases, silver pens, picture frames, candleholders, snuff boxes, small mirrors, and decorative trinket boxes. Northern Bullion were clear about how everything was tested and weighed, which made the whole process feel fair.
