    Bad news - the price has gone up to £244 today. I managed to reserve on last night showing at £134. Checked this morning and the price has changed. Thought I'd post to save some wasted journeys today!

    Fraid not - it's the price on the day you collect
  • Went into my local store - looked like they had one on display - advertising at £134.00 reduced from £299.00, so dont think it was a glitch!!!. It was Gloucester store on retail park. Was not a thick chunky chain! seemed quite thin really.
  • has anyone managed to use any of the 2 websites listed on here to get the money back if so which site is better cashforyourgold or hatton garden metals??

    Ive just got the following email from Hatton Garden Metals (see below) - I did send some other stuff too hence the price - but if you work out that the chain weighed 31grams , then I got £215 for it!!!

    I have checked with my bank and the cash has been paid in - thanks Op easiest £80 I've ever made!!!

    Email -

    Thanks for submitting your gold, it has now been verified and full

    That seems a good deal!
    Don't forget you will lose £5 of it by sending special delivery.
