The above rates are for what we generically refer to as 'scrap gold'. It's a phrase that's commonly used within the trade and refers to all unwanted gold jewellery, regardless of its age, condition or quality. We don't differentiate between hallmarked and non-hallmarked gold, as we have the necessary x-ray equipment to accurately determine the precious metal content of an item. So unlike other buyers, who rely on the traditional (old fashioned) 'acid test' method, our rates are the same regardless.

We pay even more for Sovereigns and gold coins!

If you have Sovereigns, Britannias, Krugerrands or any other gold bullion coin, our rates are even higher. Pop in and see us, or give us a call for an up-to-date price quote.

Grams, Imperial or Troy Ounces?

Any reputable gold buyer should be quoting their rate in grams, and valuing items to 1/10th of a gram. Some unscrupulous buyers quote their rates in ounces and will deliberately mix imperial ounces and troy ounces to confuse the customer. An imperial ounce is the equivalent of 28 grams and is what your kitchen scales use. A troy ounce is the traditional method of valuing precious metals and is the equivalent of 31.1 grams. For transparency, we've quoted our rates using all three units so that you can make an informed decision if you're comparing our rates with another buyer. Please note, we always value items in grams, down to 1/10th of a gram, using Trading Standards approved scales.

Postal 'Cash 4 Gold' companies - too good to be true?

If you're shopping around, you'll undoubtedly come across national gold buying companies that advertise 'top rates' and 'unbeatable prices'. If you've done a quick search in Google, the sites to watch out for are the ones at the very top of the search listings that appear in the 'Sponsored Ads' section.

If you've already been offered a price for your gold, use this handy scrap gold calculator to determine whether it's a fair price. This will tell you what your gold is really worth and calculate the percentage value that you've been offered. It's free to use and doesn't require any registration.

• They advertise 'Free' postal bags for you to send your items off, at no cost to you.
• Whilst their web site might quote seemingly high rates (the market gold prices), their clever wording doesn't quite go as far as confirming they're the actual prices they pay.

Please understand, these 'free' postal bags aren't actually free - they cost the company roughly £8 for every bag that gets returned. Inevitably, they receive a huge number of bags back containing nothing of value (costume jewellery etc.), so the only way they can recoup the cost of those bags is by paying their customers (who send genuine gold items) much lower rates.

Even if you choose not to use us, PLEASE DO NOT send your unwanted gold to any company that send 'free' bags. You will always receive a lower price.
