Hang on a second, Blaze, nothing was said about NetRegistry pricing - the $399 fee was mentioned in connection with Melbourne IT, so please lets not imply otherwise. If we are talking about a Registrant Name Change then NetRegistry charges $220, which is a little over half what Melbourne IT charge. However, you need to compare these transactions (which are few, far between and take quite a bit of explanation and paperwork) to automated domain name registrations that have a very low cost to provide. Really, after a consultant has spoken to you for a while, communicated with the old owner and the new, sorted all the paperwork and made the submission, I wouldn't be surprised if we made much more margin than on a regular registration.

I am not a customer of Melbourne IT, so I am not trying to avoid paying a bill .. I am trying to: a) avoid having a domain registered with them. b) not paying an excessive charge.

Thanks for the reply, Actually I am just buying a business that owns a domain name ... I have just been told by Melbourne IT that as it no longer has the same abn as it did for the previous owner, I am up for a transfer fee.
