Bob, what is the real rip-off.  We all buy paper, toner, and office equipment.  We all know the true cost of copies.  Yet the county government charges way more than the  actual cost of the copy, so, I.E., they are making a profit on the copies we have to buy.  So, what you are saying is that, we drive 20 minutes to the county court house, stand there and make, lets say, 50 copies for the search, which takes up time, allow the county to make a profit on their copies, drive back to your office, send the copies thru your scanner, which takes up time and don't forget the cost of maintence and or replacement of the scanner,  Bob, the only thing you are selling, is your time.  You have to account for your time.  As far as our business going overseas, that has been happening for a long, long, time, and has nothing to do with copies.  My wife was in management for First American in San Diego, in the title department.  She at one time was over about 200 people.  Bob, they are all gone.  Than title plant now has about 10 people.  The rest of them are now in the Phillipines, or India.  Bob, charge a dollar a page, make some money while you still can.
