Hi everyone,
I’m in Seaham and hoping to sell some gold and silver items for cash. I’ve got a broken 18ct bracelet, a silver desk clock, and a small box of old coins from clearing my grandparents’ house. Local offers seemed far too low.
Any reliable buyers nearby that anyone recommends?
I’m just over in Murton and sold a few items at Northern Bullion, including a 9ct gold ring, a silver cigarette case, and a small silver picture frame. Everything was tested and weighed in front of me which made the offer very clear.
I’d avoid auctions entirely — too slow and fees can be ridiculous. I sold a silver pen, a gold tie pin, and a decorative candlestick recently and it was much quicker dealing directly once the items were properly tested.
I cleared my uncle’s sideboard in Dawdon and found a silver medal, a gold signet ring, a silver inkwell, and a small trinket box. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave me a realistic idea of value before visiting.
Make sure you watch items being tested. I sold a gold cufflink pair, a silver letter opener, and a decorative desk paperweight recently and having the weights and purity explained clearly made the offer feel fair.
I’ve sold a varied mix over the past year including 9ct gold rings, 18ct bracelets, 925 silver chains, bullion coins, antique silver cutlery, engagement rings, silver cigarette cases, pocket watches, silver pens, picture frames, candleholders, snuff boxes, small trinket boxes, and decorative miniatures. Northern Bullion were upfront about testing and weighing everything, which made the process smooth and fair.
