fulfillment by amazon
here's my take: amazon now offers storage/warehousing services! simply ship them things, and they'll store it for the low price of $5.85/(cu. ft. yr.). then when you want things back, they'll ship them back to you at an extremely reasonably rate.
so, what will you store in amazon?

Once inventory is in our fulfillment centers, you can choose to sell it on Amazon or not.

send a 1.5" x 1" x 1" package to amazon for storage.
5.85 * (1 / 12) * (1 / 12) * (1 / 6) = 0.00677083333
it will cost $0.00677 per year. you can fit ten sd cards in such a package.
