How the programme works
01
Join on WhatsApp
Message Andrew with your shop's name and address. Accept the one-page agreement on your phone and the kit is posted to you. Nothing to pay.
02
Buy at your price
A seller comes in. Weigh the piece, read the hallmark and price it on the counter calculator: it shows what we pay you per gram today. Pay the seller less and the difference is yours.
03
Confirm and post
Tap SALE CONFIRMED, photograph the item if you can, seal the pouch and post it on our prepaid insured An Post label. The quoted rate holds for 7 days.
04
Paid the same day
We open the pouch on camera, weigh and XRF-test every piece, and pay by bank transfer the day it is tested. You get the video and an itemised statement.
The margin is yours. We publish the rate we pay per gram; what you pay the seller is your call, and we never contact your sellers.
What you get
- Our rate per gram for every carat of gold and grade of silver, published every morning
- The counter calculator on your phone: price a piece in seconds, confirm the sale, follow it to payment
- A starter kit on loan: 0.01 g scale, testing acids and touchstone, file, magnet, loupe, pouches and record sheets
- A plain guide to checking metal before you buy: hallmark, magnet, acid, every mark that is good or bad, with pictures
- Prepaid insured An Post labels, already addressed to us
- Your first misread hallmark written off, up to an agreed limit
- Andrew on WhatsApp for anything odd that lands on the counter
Who it suits
Jewellers and goldsmiths
Old gold walks in with every repair and resize. Buy it rather than hand it back.
Pawnbrokers and dealers
A published rate to buy against, and a buyer who pays the day the parcel lands.
Antique and vintage shops
Silver and jewellery you would not stock, sold on by weight instead of passed over.
Any shop with footfall
A sign in the window and a scale on the counter. We supply the scale.
Today's programme rates
What we pay you today, per gram of the item as it is, off the live market. Pay the seller less than this and the rest is your margin. The figures move with the market through the day; the morning WhatsApp message carries the same board.
A hallmark tells you the row to read. 375 is 9ct, 585 is 14ct, 750 is 18ct, 916 is 22ct. Silver marked 925 or Sterling is the sterling row. Checking that a piece is real is your job before you buy it; our how to check if you have real gold or silver page makes it obvious.
