That was my point and why I said I don't see any reason cert prices with reasonable competition couldn't fall to a few dollars/year.
I believe they have, at least to a large degree. InstantSSL (www.instantssl.com) sell 128-bit certificates for $49USD/annum. Certainly far cheaper than the VeriSign or Thawte equivalent. This is their 'base' level service which comes with a $50USD warranty, email based support and a 30 day refund/reissue policy. One of our clients uses one of their certificates and we haven't had an issue with it.
Cheers,
Joel
