There are so many variables like you mentioned that would drastically
change the amount.  I don't think an estimate based on a project without
any idea of the scope, nature etc. would be worth anything.

Subject: [RM] Estimated cost to microfilm records

Hello all!
   
  I've a quick question (is there REALLY such a thing?)...  We've had a
request for an estimate of cost per box to microfilm records.  I looked
in the listserv archives and found a string from 2000, but would like
more recent estimates if I can find it.  I do know that the cost is very
dependent upon the amount of prepwork needed, what kind of microfilm,
and all other kinds of variables, and will simply vary from vendor to
vendor.  However, as the information is needed for a budget that is due
this afternoon, we don't have a lot of time to do an in-depth research
on the topic.  Can anyone provide me with a best guess?  We had a guess
in our office of about $60 per box.  Is this too high?  Too low?  I
would greatly appreciate any thoughts.  
   
  You may respond to the list if you like, but please also reply to me
personally, as I receive this list in digest form.  
   
  Thank you,
