some registrars offer that, after they have recived transfer out.
But $8.95 is still too high

I have a few names at Network Solutions. They insisted on an extremely high $35/Yr for renewals. When I mentioned perhaps I will transfer away instead they came down to $15/Yr.

What BS that is where you need to play such games to get a better deal. It's all childish nonsense.

lower his price

lower his price

Exactly...?

This is so common. The most loyal customers get the worst price, the least loyal get the best price. Not just domaining, pretty much anything.
