Our highest rated gold buyer because they offered the best price, a quick service and a trustworthy experience.
We received a nicely designed pack which had one letter to fill in to send back and another showing how payment should be made along with some trustmarks like their Trustpilot score and total customers paid to date.
We received an offer from Postgoldforcash.com the day after we posted our pack for £206.00. Over the phone we managed to haggle them up to a final total of £210.
We sold our gold and received a cheque within two days.
Postgoldforcash was recently featured on ITV's This Morning as a quick and simple way to make money.
Selling gold online is relatively straightforward, or at least it should be! In our research we found that the levels of service, price offered and overall experience varied, so reading our reviews before you sell would be a wise thing to do!
We would recommend finding out the answers to these questions when selling your gold for cash:
- What items will they buy?
- How will you send in your gold valuables?
- How much insurance will you get sending via post?
- How long does it take to get a valuation?
- When and how will you get a pay out?
- When and how does the gold buyer return your items?
- Do you have to pay to have your items returned?
- Where is the gold buyer based?
- What do their previous customers say about them?
Luckily for you, we have already done this for you, and you can find all the answers in our cash for gold reviews page, as well as within our comparison table below. Click the 'order pack' links to be taken straight to the gold buyer to continue your gold selling experience.
Happy gold selling!

Dealing with Gold Monkeys was very straight forward.
Gold Monkeys were the first to contact us back, responding very early upon receiving the gold and made us a good offer of £186.15. We had two other calls from Gold Monkeys and eventually managed to increase their offer to a final total of £203.56.
We sold our gold and received our cheque within two days.

When it comes to earning trust online, this company really didn't inspire us. The original offer was in line with the rest of the market (£179.13) but when asked if they could improve the offer, it was increased by a measly 87p to £180.00.

The selling pack comes from a company called Gold Converter.
We received our first offer a day after they received it (and after other gold buyers we tested) which came in at a disappointing £120.00. We declined this offer and spoke to them again a day later where the offer was upped to £142.00.
We declined their offer and had our gold sent back to us within two days.

We received a generic letter with no personalisation which made completing the form that much longer compared to the other gold buyers.
We were only sent an email with a very small offer (only £89.14). This was upped to £127.34 however, this was still a long way short of the others. We decided to have our gold returned due to the low price offered and it arrived within 2 days of our request.
