    I will end up doing just that. I'm hoping that maybe someone will express interest. I don't really want to deal with the paper, so if someone can make decent coin off of it I'm hoping they'll come and do just that.

    That's 82 file cabinets. So if you value them at 10 bucks each, it's $820.00.
