Being your own broker – You should determine who is going to make your offer. A broker, or yourself? If it is you then you should locate the necessary offer forms and study them carefully.

Nonetheless, I stopped one day in small town in Montana. I got a pretty warm reception from the town dentist when I told him I pay CASH for scrap gold and amalgam.
