This info pulled from RT using:
   Queue = 'help' AND 'CF.{Category}' LIKE 'Non-Warranty Repairs'

I've included 'resolved' tickets as well, as it wasn't helpful to exclude
them.
I'm also trusting that all tickets were correctly categorized; I haven't
tried going back through the database to re-classify or doing a full-text
search.

Total of 62 tickets, first 10 arrivals reported here:

 I'd rather not approach the requestor again unless we have a solid and
ready-to-run solution for them. To me, that would mean being able to offer
terms, and being able to execute our end on those terms.

If we have those, I can re-activate the tickets and contact the requestor to
see if they are still interested/in need of a solution.
