How about offering small quantities of lead-free solder paste (~1cc) packaged in a diabetic or 21 gauge syringe with the needle cut off at 1/4 inch and blunted. I read a post about an amatuer radio group that offers a lead paste paste for $5 per syringe, but you need to pick it up in person because of the restrictions of transporting hazardous materials (lead). I would think a lead-free product would be free from those restrictions, and I would like to move to lead-free anyway.
This product would be a nice complement to the breakout boards us nubies to SMD like to use. Having this option would minimize the cost of trying out reflow techniques and would help ensure that the paste won't go bad if you only need a little from time to time.
