Victory, you are right. Normally, if you want to sell gold to the store, the store must ask for the police approval, i.e. you have to go to the Police station and get their approval. But.. there are some store in souk, that dont' follow this law. Yes, they give lower price for the jewellery, but they still accept it without the police clearance.
