// 01 · The standard

We sell with future resale in mind.

The commitment is simple: we focus on products that remain straightforward to identify, value, and sell. That shapes what we source, list, and recommend.

  • We choose products with clear identity, recognised metal content, and resale demand.
  • If you want to sell an item back, you can request a valuation from us.
  • Recognised coins and bars are usually easier to quote, verify, and resell.
  • Any offer depends on the live market, product type, authenticity, condition, documentation, and compliance checks.

// 02 · Our approach

The standard begins before an item is listed.

A buy-back conversation should feel as considered as the original purchase. That is why Bullion House focuses on products with a clear identity, an understood market, and a route back to a knowledgeable team.

It is not a promise of a fixed future price. It is a commitment to explain the factors, inspect the physical item properly, and make a fair, informed decision when the time comes.

Market-aware

Quoted against the relevant live market.

Item-specific

Condition and documentation are reviewed.

Clearly explained

You receive the confirmed offer before deciding.

// 03 · Product quality

Liquidity starts on the day you buy.

Recognised coins, bars, and graded pieces are easier to value because the market already understands them. That is why we focus on products with clear metal content, known mints or refiners, and resale demand.

This is not financial advice, and it does not mean a future offer will match the purchase price. It is a dealing standard: if we sell it, we expect to be able to have a serious buy-back conversation later.

// 04 · Quote factors

What affects a buy-back quote.

Spot, product, condition, verification
  1. 01

    Live spot

    Gold, silver, and platinum move throughout the day. Any buy-back quote starts with the relevant live market reference at the time.

  2. 02

    Product type

    Mainstream coins and bars usually have clearer resale demand than unusual, damaged, or heavily specialist items.

  3. 03

    Condition

    Handling marks, missing capsules, damaged packaging, or opened assay cards can affect the final offer.

  4. 04

    Verification

    We check authenticity, weight, fineness, serials, certificates, and any supporting documents before confirming a quote.

// 05 · Process

How selling back works.

The process is designed to be practical: identify the item, verify it properly, quote it against the current market, then pay by bank transfer if you accept.

  1. 01

    Request a valuation

    Send product details, your order history if you have it, and a few clear photos.

  2. 02

    Bring or send it in

    Visit the showroom or use an insured courier service once we have agreed the next step.

  3. 03

    We verify the item

    A member of the team checks the product, condition, packaging, documentation, and compliance requirements.

  4. 04

    Review the offer

Buy-back FAQ

Is this a guaranteed future price?

No. It means you can request a future valuation from Bullion House. Any offer depends on the live market and the item at the time.

Will you buy back every item you sell?

We buy back all types of precious metals and will always be able to offer a price based on the weight and purity of the item you are selling.

Do I pay tax when I sell?

Under current HMRC rules, British coins issued as legal tender by The Royal Mint are generally exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). As a result, eligible coins with a face value can provide investors with a CGT-free gold investment or CGT-free silver investment, making them a tax-efficient choice for UK investors. CGT is payable on all bars and all non British legal tender gold and silver coins. If you have any concerns/questions regarding Capital Gains Tax we would recommend speaking to a qualified financial/tax advisor or your accountant.

Should I keep the packaging?

Not all precious metals come with their own packing, however, bars kept in assay cards generally demand a higher premium on resale as this acts as the Mints proof of authenticity. For proof coins capsules, boxes and original certificates are often wanted by collectors when they purchase proof coins so having these when it comes to sell can increase your offer.
