Way to get the suggested BAC if you don't have MLS access?

As representing myself as a buyer I don't have MLS access. I don't need to know the BAC, because I am not paying one, but if I know it it will make negotiating alot more easier, because then I can know how much I am saving the seller. And then I can consider the amount in my offer price.

Hi guys, is there an easy way to tell real estate agents  you are representing yourself and you don't need their help? 

I know the process, I have family in the business, and I have the paperwork. It seems like they don't get the hint, and sometimes I am just straight rude, especially at open houses where the listing agent isn't really present and you have an agent their trying to get customers. Anyhow, I'm sticking to my guns about this because I am offering less on houses because the seller doesn't have to pay the BAC. 

Keep in mind, my offers don't allow for dual agency either. My contracts explicitly say BAC will not be paid out and we are not being represented. And the correct boxes are checked on the NWMLS forms.

Thanks.
