Theoretically, you are right. I did the same at one point. Now, again, I have no problem working for off-shore companies as long as they are valid companies, transparent, and pay HOWEVER I have seen on Source of Title an uptick in discussions about Document Retrievals and Judgment/Estate searches by off-shore companies who need on-site Abstractors to provide them. Admit it, everyone gets this: someone else is doing the search so they send you a document retrieval. They are offering to pay YOU to do fractions of it which is in TURN the grunt work that THEY cannot/do not want to, provide.

Without committing the crime of "price fixing" by entering a formal agreement(written, verbal, or inferred from conduct) and/or agreeing to a fixed price, this is a demand for a hard-to-get service, therefore IN THEORY price rates could be driven up on what used to be a $25.00 USD document retrieval....

Although it leads me to a scary question: are off-shore corporate entities, especially those headquartered overseas (even if they have an office in the US), bound by the same Anti-Price Fixing Laws as mandated by the US Federal Trade Commission?
