I just bought some scrap on ebay and they said that 1.3 grams of it was 24K gold flakes. I was sadly taken, since they are not gold after I tested. I now have a case against the seller, but he is accusing me of switching real gold for fake flakes. They are real crocks. They even said they acid tested the flakes themselves and bought from a reputable dealer. Either he got taken and is passing his bad dealings along, or he is the crock trying to cheat the ebay buyer. I am sure that the average buyer with gold fever in their eyes probably would not have tested the material.
Where did the ethics in this country go? So sad.
