When it comes to selling precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, choosing the right buyer is just as important as timing the market. Prices may be visible online, but who you sell to can make a significant difference in how much you are paid, how secure the transaction is, and whether the valuation is genuinely fair.
So where is the best place to sell precious metals — and what separates a trusted specialist from a generic buyer?
Not All Precious Metal Buyers Are the Same
Many sellers assume all buyers pay roughly the same because they reference the same “spot price”. In reality, this is far from true.
Different buyers operate under very different business models:
- Pawn shops often focus on short-term lending rather than metal value
- High-street jewellers typically lack refining or wholesale access
- Pop-up gold buyers prioritise speed over accuracy
- Online buyers rely on remote assessments and margin-heavy pricing
The result? Inconsistent valuations, limited transparency, and often lower payouts.
The best place to sell precious metals is a specialist bullion and precious metals buyer with deep market access, technical expertise, and a long-standing reputation.
Why Specialist Knowledge Makes a Real Difference
Precious metals are not one-size-fits-all. A knowledgeable buyer understands:
- Purity variations and alloy content
- The difference between scrap, investment-grade, and collectible metals
- Refining yields and real-world recoverable value
- Live wholesale demand, not just paper pricing
This depth of understanding allows experienced buyers to pay closer to true market value, rather than pricing defensively to protect against uncertainty.

Access to the Real Market — Not Just Spot Prices
The public spot price reflects the paper market, not the cost or value of physical metal. Many buyers hide behind this number while applying wide margins.
GoldCompany’s position in the physical market — including refining and wholesale channels — allows it to pay higher percentages of realisable value, particularly for:
- High-purity gold and silver
- Investment bullion
- Larger volumes
- Complex or mixed-metal items
This access is a key reason experienced sellers return again and again.

Selling precious metals should feel professional and secure — not rushed or uncomfortable.
GoldCompany offers:
- Discreet, private transactions
- Secure premises
- Professional staff with genuine expertise
- No pressure to sell
This level of professionalism is especially important when dealing with high-value items or inherited assets.
