How to Scrap at a Refiners without a Tax ID

[Mrsz1ppy]

Years ago, when I had a corporation for real estate investments, I had an account at ARA Gold for refining my scrap. My CPA convinced me to close it last year, and now I want to scrap and all of the refiners require business ids. You lose 40-50% when selling to a gold buyer, pawn shop etc. Any suggestions for how to sell and get the 98% I used to get?

This is a really good question. I use “scrap” towards new pieces when working with David Klass but not sure about the trade-in value.

Are you fencing catalytic converters again, @Mrsz1ppy?

I had no idea the payout to randos was so awful. There are (seemingly) tons of ads for mail-in that sound much closer to melt value.
