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.

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.

At GoldComparison.co.uk, we want to give the best independent advice to anyone selling gold online to make sure that they get the best price possible for whatever they are selling. We know that a lot of gold buyers will offer well below market price for the gold that they buy, as a lot of people selling gold know very little about the value of the jewellery that they send in. From our own research, we’ve seen as much as a 100% difference between the amount offered by postal gold buyers! This could mean as much as hundreds of pounds difference when selling your gold!
