Christmas 2020 Operating Hours

Our website will remain available throughout the festive period but our offices will close from 3.30pm on Tuesday 22nd December 2020 until 10am on Monday 4th January 2021.

Due to ongoing disruption to the postal service in some areas, your last day for despatching Royal Mail insured Special Delivery parcels for delivery to us before 22nd December should be Thursday 17th December.

Parcels that we do not receive by 22nd December will be processed after our return to work on 4th January and may be held in Royal Mail storage until that date.

We will resume normal service on 4th January 2021.

Give Yourself a Golden Christmas Boost in 2020

The dreaded R-word – recession – is back in the headlines, spelling tough times ahead for the UK. Many of us are really counting every penny, but did you know that scrap gold could be just the ticket to getting a much-needed cash boost this Christmas?

It all starts with coming to Cash for Your Gold, and seeing our market leading prices for your scrap gold items that we have to offer, this festive season.

Dreaming of a gold Christmas

Times are tough, but that’s precisely why scrap gold could be so valuable this year. Cash for Your Gold has been tracking gold prices in 2020, and we’ve seen prices rise to an all-time high of over £1,500 per troy ounce this summer. Follow the story of rising gold prices this year, using our Live Gold Price tracker here.

As a result, this feeds into higher scrap gold prices across the market. Finding the right price matters, so that’s why Cash for Your Gold is worth turning to. Unlike many buyers, our work is highly digitised, meaning lower overheads and higher scrap prices on offer than others.

If you’ve found a bit of scrap gold in your home over lockdown, and are in need of some extra cash this Christmas, now could be the perfect time to sell. Use our Gold Scrap Calculator to see what your item could earn today – all you need is to have an idea about the weight and purity as measured in carats.

For example, just one gram of scrap gold, with 9-carat purity, could make as much as £16.19 – it doesn’t take much to imagine what you could make with a heavier item with even higher purity.

Selling with Cash for Your Gold can be stress-free and easy. Please note that for this festive season, we will briefly pause receipt of gold scrap items, so make sure to send them through by 17th December 2020, to avoid delays.

Selling Gold Online Has Never Been Easier in 2020

At the start of November, England returned to a state of lockdown as a second wave of COVID-19 cases started to emerge. This caused much disruption as the previous lockdown did, but as was the case before, restrictions needn’t stop you from unlocking some cash in your own home in the form of scrap gold.

In fact, it’s never been easier to make a sale, especially online, through trusted buyers such as Cash for Your Gold. Today, we explain why this is possible.

High prices and suitable buyers

With the restrictions imposed through the second lockdown this autumn, we’ve all been spending much more time at home. Times are also tough for many of us, so a little bit of extra cash can go a long way, especially in the run-up to a Christmas unlike any we’ve seen before.

That’s why it pays to do a clean sweep to find any unwanted scrap gold lying around your home – perhaps an old piece of broken jewellery, a ring, or coins passed down through the family, which you have no need for anymore. Now could be an ideal time to sell, as gold prices are high. Just this summer, gold prices hit an all-time high of £1,500 per troy ounce.

At Cash for Your Gold, we would be able to pay you £15.60 today for just a single gram of 9-carat gold. Just imagine what you could expect to make, if you found a larger item with a higher purity. To be sure of an accurate pricing, why not give our Gold Scrap Calculator a go?

Easy to sell online despite lockdown

The price of gold is high, but it’s also incredibly easy to make sales of gold in spite of the restrictions imposed by the lockdown in England. You may be interested to know that the Royal Mail has an efficient Click and Collect postal service which will collect your parcel from your home.

This allows you to make easy sales with Cash for Your Gold without having to leave your home to take your scrap items to the Post Office. We suggest that you make sure items are sent in discreet, tamper-proof pouches or packages, by Royal Mail insured Special Delivery to guarantee your item can be dispatched and delivered to us safely.

Once we have valued your item upon receipt, we can give you an offer which, should you accept, ensures swift payment. Options include the Faster Payment System (FPS), which can wire the payment over to your account within as little as two hours.
