The LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) spot price changes daily.
The prices displayed are based on the global market rate for pure 24ct gold, known as the gold spot price. Like all gold dealers, GoldSell pays a percentage of this rate to account for assaying, refining, secure logistics, market volatility, and handling costs. We consistently offer among the highest payout rates in the UK, with the exact percentage increasing based on the weight and purity of the gold you sell.

How We Value Your Gold
Our valuations are based on the live gold price. Like other gold buyers and local jewellers, we factor in our costs to cover assaying (XRF testing), refining, insured postage and market risk, but we consistently offer the highest prices for gold.
Live Price Checker™
Our Live Price Checker™ scans and compares scrap gold prices across the UK twice daily. This ensures our payouts remain at the top of the market—reinforcing our position as the UK’s highest-paying gold buyer.
Same Day Payment Upon Receipt Of Items
Send your gold today, and you could be paid as early as tomorrow. As soon as we receive and assess your items, we issue same-day payment—often within just 20 minutes of you accepting our valuation. It’s the fastest way to turn unwanted gold into cash.
Prices Locked For 7 Days
When you send us your gold, we lock in the day’s gold price for a full 7 days—longer than any other UK gold buyer. Even if the market price drops, your offer stays protected —and if it rises, we’ll honour the higher value. This gives you full peace of mind, knowing your valuation is safe from gold price fluctuations while your items are in transit.

Answers to the most common questions
Looking to sell a gold watch? Our friendly valuations team are on hand to talk you through the process.
Ask us your questionThe condition of your gold watch does not matter. Our experts use advanced XRF analysis to determine the purity and intrinsic metal value of your items.
We are able to process any type of watch which contains gold, silver, platinum or palladium. Whilst we do not buy gold-plated items, we have the facility here to process any type of watch which contains precious metal.
When selling gold watches please be aware that certain components of your watch will be non-gold, these include items such as the glass screen, your watch face and hands, your watch workings and sometimes parts of the watch clasps. From item to item the weight of your non-gold watch components will change depending on the size of your watch, make and watch model.
No, we do not purchase gold-plated watches. Our valuations are based on the intrinsic value of solid gold, which gold-plated items do not contain in significant amounts. If you are unsure about the composition of your watch, send it to us, and our experts will evaluate it.
If your gold watch contains gemstones, we will primarily value the gold. However, if the watch contains diamonds larger than 0.25ct, we will assess their value separately based on their cut, clarity, and color. Smaller diamonds and other gemstones will not be valued but can be returned to you upon request.
Yes, we accept gold watches regardless of their working condition. Whether your watch is broken, missing parts, or simply doesn’t function, we will value the gold in the watch and offer you a competitive price based on its weight and purity.
We use advanced XRF technology to assess the purity and weight of the gold in your watch. The value is based on the live got price and does not include any non-gold components. If your watch contains any diamonds over 0.25ct, they will also be valued separately.
Yes, our process is safe and secure. Our Royal Mail Special Delivery labels are insured up to £2,500. For items of higher value, additional insurance can be purchased at a small cost at the Post Office. We track all parcels and log your items upon receipt to ensure their safety.
Yes, we buy gold pocket watches in any condition, including vintage or antique pieces. Like gold wristwatches, we will assess the purity and weight of the gold to provide a fair valuation.
