About The GoldMonkeys
Written by the company
GoldMonkeys: Sell Gold Online – Instant & Transparent Quotes & Top Prices.
The Most Transparent Gold Buyer in the UK.
We’re a small, family-run business based in Bedfordshire. Back in 2018, we saw a clear opportunity to improve the way people sell their gold and silver.
With gold prices reaching record highs, more people were looking to turn their old jewellery into ready cash. But when we looked at the options available — both on the high street and online — we noticed some common problems.
High street shops often paid far below market value. Many online services either charged for postage, gave vague or delayed pricing, or quoted generously upfront — only to deduct hidden fees later.
That didn’t sit right with us.
So we created GoldMonkeys — to make selling gold and silver simple, transparent, and fair. With us, you can:
✅ Get a market-leading price
🔒 Know your quote before sending your items
📦 Enjoy free, insured next-day delivery
💷 Avoid hidden charges — our quotes are honest and upfront
We’re here to do things properly. No pressure, no surprises — just a better way to sell your gold and silver.

Dear Ms. Davies,
Thank you for your review! We're so glad that your gold was actually heavier than estimated, so we paid you extra - that's exactly the honest, accurate approach we apply to every customer. Delighted the payment was so quick too, and thank you again!

My experience with this company was fantastic
My experience with this company was positive from the outset. Clear friendly communication and fantastic customer service. Price quoted was transparent and fair, no hidden costs at all. Within a day of me receiving the postal pack, to then sending the items to them, i received the exact payment as quoted, plus an additional £10 for returning the postal pack within the timeframe stated. Really happy, many thanks.

100% service and customer satisfaction
Just wish everything in life was this straightforward. From initial enquiry to money in my account in less than a week. Great price given as well which as promised, tracked up with current prices on the day of exchange. If you have gold to sell. These are the folks to go to. Thanks again for a flawless brilliant service.

Hello
Thank you very much for leaving a review! We are proud of offering customers a guaranteed price in case gold prices go down, but increasing our prices if the wholesale price rises between getting a quote and sending in items. We don't believe anyone else does this.

Honest. Transparent. Straightforward process
Having decided to sell my gold with Goldmonkeys I had a quick yet reassuring conversation with Michael prior to posting the package.
I was impressed with the whole process and surprised, having posted my gold on a Friday, to receive an offer via email together with a breakdown of items, weight, carat and offer together with photos of the jewellery being weighed on the Saturday. I accepted the offer and was more surprised to have the money transferred into my account on a Sunday.
I would highly recommend Goldmonkeys to anyone wishing
to sell their gold. I am grateful for their honesty and transparency about the weight, carat and value of my gold being much higher than I had anticipated.
Many thanks

Dear Louise,
Thank you so much for yout review — it really captures what we aim to deliver at GoldMonkeys.
You've highlighted something we're particularly proud of: the speed of the process doesn't come at the expense of transparency. Receiving a full breakdown of weight, carat, and valuation — with photos of your jewellery being weighed — on a Saturday, with payment reaching your account on a Sunday, is exactly the kind of service we want every customer to experience.
For anyone researching how to sell gold jewellery online in the UK, this review answers some of the most common questions people have: How long does it take? Can I trust the valuation? Will I know exactly what I'm being paid for, and why? The answer in your case was: offer received within 24 hours of posting, payment cleared the following day, with a fully itemised breakdown and photographic evidence of the weighing process.
We're also delighted that the valuation exceeded your expectations — gold is often worth more than people realise, especially when assessed honestly against current spot prices rather than the discounted rates many high street buyers offer.
Thank you again, and we're so glad Michael could reassure you before you posted. We'll pass your kind words on to him.
Thank you again!
Best wishes

Dear Geraldine
Thank you so much for such an enthusiastic review — and for being a returning customer! Selling gold multiple times with us means a great deal, and we're thrilled the experience has been consistently positive.
Same-day payment is something we work hard to deliver. Once your gold has been received, tested, and a valuation agreed, we aim to transfer payment the same day — and it's always wonderful to hear when that lands exactly as promised.
You've also touched on something important: fair pricing. At GoldMonkeys, our valuations are based on the live gold spot price, with full transparency on weight and carat — so you're never left wondering how we reached the number we did.
Michael and the team will be delighted to hear your kind words. We look forward to helping you again whenever you need us.
Best wishes

Excellent Service from start to finish
Excellent Service from start to finish. Gold & Silver valuations locked in & better than any others quoted. Payment is prompt (same day) once items are received, tested & weight checked (adjusted if needed). Overall a very honest trustworthy company, that I have used twice, highly recommended, 5⭐

Hello!
Thank you for your kind review — and for trusting us a second time. Repeat customers mean everything to us.
You've captured the GoldMonkeys process beautifully: valuations agreed upfront and locked in, independent testing and weight verification on arrival, and same-day payment once everything is confirmed. The adjustment process you mention is worth highlighting — if the final weight or purity differs slightly from the initial quote, we recalculate transparently and you always have the option to decline and have your items returned free of charge.
It's also worth noting for anyone researching where to sell silver online in the UK — we value both gold and silver, and our rates are benchmarked against the live spot price for both metals. Finding a buyer who offers competitive rates across gold and silver together, with locked-in valuations, isn't always straightforward, so we're glad that came through clearly in your experience.
Thank you again for the five stars and the recommendation. We hope to be your first call next time too.
Best wishes
