The "holding the data hostage" part is the first thing I thought of when you described it. Somehow it feels a little bit dirty. Plus, you'd be setting yourself up for a bad situation when someone would want their data but couldn't afford it. Not a fun customer service email thread there. :) Not far off from the market for data recovery service right there, but it takes out the uncertainty, the time, shipping, etc. Now, there’s no upfront cost for data recovery services… ie, the part where you store people’s stuff… so that puts the risk on you.
