Solid Silver Versus Plated

Every week we receive emails and messages from potential customers who are sat on what they hope is a valuable hoard of silver. Often inherited or purchased over time the opening refrain usually goes "I've got X kilograms of silver what will you give me for it?" or something similar. Our standard response is to ask for some images of the items in order that we can make an initial assessment; we ask for closeups hallmarks or other markings to help with this. Quite often we find that the customer is sat on a pile of pretty much worthless silver plated cutlery and other items which of course is a huge disappointment as it is (usually) only solid silver that has any decent value.

The moral of the story is to get in touch with us at the earliest possible stage so we can professionally appraise your items. This is a free service during which we will be able to asses each item, seek out solid silver and also root out anything that has any antique or collectors value. Remember, we come to you so need to haul a heavy load of items anywhere. We will give you an opinion even if it represents bad news and we will buy, on the spot, anything we feel has a value, at a fair price.

We offer this service anywhere inn the Plymouth, South Hams, South East Cornwall, West and South Devon at a time and place that suits you. It's free, without obligation professionally friendly as our reviews will attest. If you think we can help please get in touch.
