Hi everyone,
I’m in Eaglescliffe and looking to sell some gold and silver items for cash. I have a damaged 18ct bracelet, a silver inkstand, and a few old coins that were tucked away while clearing out my grandparents’ home. The first local offer I received seemed very low.
Does anyone know a trustworthy buyer nearby?
I’m just over in Yarm and sold a few items at Northern Bullion, including a 9ct gold ring, a silver pocket watch, and a small decorative silver picture frame. Everything was tested and weighed in front of me, so the cash offer felt completely fair.
Avoid auctions if possible—they take ages and the fees are high. I sold a silver pen, a gold tie pin, and a miniature silver candlestick recently, and dealing directly after proper testing was far easier.
I cleared my uncle’s sideboard in Preston-on-Tees and found a silver medal, a gold mounted cameo, a small trinket box, and a pocket watch. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave me a realistic estimate before visiting.
Watching items being tested properly makes a big difference. I sold a gold cufflink pair, a silver letter opener, and an engraved desk seal recently and having the weights and purity explained clearly made the offer feel fair.
I’ve sold a very mixed collection recently including 9ct gold rings, 18ct bracelets, 925 silver chains, bullion coins, antique silver cutlery, engagement rings, silver pens, pocket watches, cigarette cases, picture frames, candleholders, snuff boxes, small trinket boxes, and miniature silver sculptures. Northern Bullion were very clear about testing and weighing everything, which made the whole process feel transparent and fair.
