Excellent honest service
Excellent honest service. Fair price offered for the watch from photos provided, full payment made at the agreed price within minutes of it arriving ! No effort to knock down the price as we have experience elsewhere. Highly recommend.

Great service
Great service. I made an appointment to see Gold Buyer Wales to sell some old gold jewellery. They were very professional and explained what each item was made of and what they were worth. I was very pleased with the outcome. I had also seen two other gold buyers but GBW were the best service and quoted slightly more than the others. Thank you GBW!

Good customer service
Met Paul at his office. Free parking, lovely meeting room (with a great view!).
Paul took time to explain the current value/resale of each piece of jewellery.
Would definitely contact this company again and would recommend them.

Fantastic from start to finish, highly recommend.
Highly recommend, we had a much higher value for jewellery than we were offered by other buyers and Paul was very honest and professional, we thought one piece of jewellery was silver but Paul told us it was gold. It was an excellent experience from start to finish. Thank you so much!

My husband and I made an appointment to sell jewellery. We were met by Paul who was very friendly and we felt at ease straight away. We felt he was very fair and competitive having had a previous evaluation. We were selling on behalf of someone else so had to go back. He was true to his word and we left with the cash as promised. Would definitely recommend this company.

Paul says thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your husband in the shop.
He knows it can sometimes feel a bit daunting selling jewellery, especially on behalf of someone else, so he was really glad he could put you both at ease right away.
We truly appreciate your recommendation, and hope to see you both again!
