I had a domain name at register fly. I accidentally let it expire because I forgot to change my contact info. I finally remembered but the domain has gone into the redemption period. Now they are telling me that in order to re-register it, I have to pay $219. Is this legal? If I let the redemption period expire, then I take the chance of someone else registering it before me.

As Ron stated, you might be lucky! Other (some) registrars (or resellers) won't allow you to renew in this period.

$219 is a bit steep but the cost to RegisterFly as an Enom reseller is $200 so guess they have to make a profit? Steve

I have heard it can cost more.

It's not only legal, but done with the express approval of ICANN, who mandated a redemption period and let the companies makea profit off of it as part of the deal.
It wasn't too long ago that the name would already be in process of queueing up to be droped at this point without any chance of getting it back beforehand without the registrar pulling some shenanigans that would usually cost you quite a bit more than $200.

I'm the kind of person who knows that the phone bill is due when I don't have a dial tone, we need oil when the house is cold, and if there is nothing on TV it is time to call the cable company with payment information. Part of this sort of lifestyle is being nicked for special treatment and late charges. Life is like that.I accidentally let it expire because I forgot to change my contact info.
The domain name could have been deleted for bad contact info alone.

As always, I like John's approach the best.
TIP: make the registrant, the billing, and the admin email contacts three different email addresses. In some cases you will get notices to all three when it's due, so that if one is inactive, bad or filtered, you will have a chance at getting one of them.
Maybe someday I'll get around to following my own tip.
Also, don't ever use an email address based on the domain itself. when they deactivate it you have zero chance of getting a notice between expiration and drop.
or you can try backorder your domain.
