Gold Rates Not Transperent

I was just checking the gold rates with diffrent shops and also i was tracking the qatari gold rates vs. international rates.

First of all all the shops in qatar they always keep 2% to 3% rates higher then the int gold rates. when price falls they dont adjust however any increse they make it immediately.

Also diffrent shops have diffrent rates.

All this rates are only gold rates excluding taxes and making charges.

If some body knows where can we make the complaint i will take this issue.

Maybe gold is supposed to be one of those commodities that are a fixed price or something.

It seems a little odd that people would complain to some sort of mysterious authority about the non-transparent way in which gold, a precious metal, is traded, but no one seems to mind about the price of eggs, milk, rice, or sugar.

Maybe gold is more important to some people.

My advice would just be to shop around and find the best price, as you would with a vacuum cleaner, dvd player, carton of milk, new car or an apartment. I don't see the difference.

Is there some reason why all the shops should sell gold at a specific price?

Shouldn't the shops be free to sell the gold for whatever price they feel is appropriate?

Can I complain that bread is cheaper in one shop than another shop, or that rice costs more in one restaurant than another?
