[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 313177, member: 2844"]Since they are in Malaysia, they are right. It is below the Malaysian legal standard, which means it is not legally gold. They would break the law if they tried to sell it as gold. Different countries have different standards and laws. You can't expect Malaysians to abide by another country's law and thereby break their own. I am in the Netherlands and can't sell German 8k, UK 9k, or US 10k gold as 'real' gold, because it is below our legal standard. This legal standard is why I prefer to buy gold finesses from 14k upward, which seems to offend some people. I like your avatar picture, by the way.;)[/QUOTE]
