I have about a dozen boxes of fan fold paper.
Most are 9 1/2" by 11". The sides with the holes
for the sprockets tear off leaving a clean sheet
of 8 1/2" by 11".
I an in Toronto. Is there any interest these
days in fan fold paper. I suspect that the
cost of shipping is more than the paper is
worth, so local pickup only.
If there is no interest, I will dispose of the
paper in June.

Hi Jerome
At first I thought you meant fan fold paper tape, which I would pay
shipping for. But given the sizes I suppose you are talking about
"Continuous form paper" ?
That I wont pay shipping for :)
Regards,
Pontus.
(Apparently also know as /fan-fold paper/, /sprocket feed paper/, /burst
paper/, /tractor-feed paper/, and /pin feed paper/)

Me too, but noticed even at our local Staples office supply store - a national chain -
presume you have them too - there are still boxes of them offered for sale - I think about
the same price as a box of copy paper $30 - $40.
Yes, it is the shipping that is the issue - they are heavy !
Looks like mine will just go to the recycling center with a lot of the rest of our stuff
as we cleanout / downsize after 40 + years of marriage and very active careers.
Good luck - thanks for asking - you never know !

But not the same volume, so I presume that the mark-up is higher.

CORRECT!! There are probably about 3000 sheets per box
which is why local pickup is the only option.
Many of my listings back when I still used hard copy listings
were around 3000 sheets for the RT-11 Monitor files. When
I switched to hobby use, all of my listings were kept on the
600 MB hard drive and I used 6 VT100 terminals on one
desk (stacked two high) to provide sufficient access to edit
and debug.
Now that I have Ersatz-11, everything is on ONE monitor
and the <ALT/Fn> key switches from one "terminal" to the
next in about 1/10 second. And the hard drive will soon be
2 TB. What a difference 15 years makes.
Looks like mine will just go to the recycling center
with a lot of the rest of our stuff as we cleanout / downsize after 40 + years of marriage
and very active careers.
I am at 54 years of marriage - anyone any longer?
Good luck - thanks for asking - you never know!

That is why I asked.
