What Counts as Scrap Gold?
Scrap gold includes any gold item that is no longer wanted or has little resale value as jewellery. This typically includes broken chains, damaged rings, mismatched earrings, worn items, or old gold pieces sold purely for their metal content.
What We See Every Week as Working Gold Buyers
At Birmingham Gold Company, we regularly meet customers who are unsure whether online gold prices are realistic, whether their jewellery is actually 9ct or 18ct, and whether postal gold buyers will pay the amount first advertised.
One of the most common things we see is that customers focus on the headline price, when the final amount depends on the exact weight, purity, condition, and testing result. That is why we prefer to explain the offer clearly before a customer decides whether to sell.
We also see many people surprised by the difference between an advertised “up to” rate and the real price offered after assessment. Our advice is simple: compare the final cash offer, not just the advertised gram rate.
How to Compare Gold Buyers Fairly in the UK
- Ask whether the advertised price is the actual price paid.
- Check whether testing, refining, postage, or handling deductions apply.
- Compare the final offer, not just the headline rate.
- Make sure your gold is tested and weighed clearly.
- Be cautious of prices that look unrealistically higher than the live gold market allows. Why gold buyers pay different prices

Questions Customers Ask Us Most Often
Why is the final gold offer sometimes different from the advertised price?
Because the final value depends on the purity, weight, and test result of the item. A headline rate is only useful if it is genuinely paid after assessment.
Should I choose the buyer with the highest advertised gram rate?
Not always. The best buyer is the one who gives the strongest genuine final offer, explains the calculation clearly, and does not rely on unrealistic headline prices.
Can gold jewellery be worth less than expected?
Yes. Items may be lighter than expected, lower purity than stamped, damaged, hollow, or mixed with non-gold parts. Proper testing gives a more accurate value.
Do you charge any hidden fees or commission?
No. We do not believe in hidden fees, testing charges, or unexpected deductions. We aim to keep the process straightforward and transparent.
Why do customers across the UK use Birmingham Gold Company?
Many customers choose us because we are direct buyers rather than middlemen. That often means a stronger offer, a clearer process, and a more experienced valuation than they receive locally.
Can I sell gold to you if my jewellery is broken or unhallmarked?
Yes. We buy broken jewellery, damaged items, odd pieces, and in many cases unhallmarked gold too. If you are unsure, just contact us and we will advise you.
