I've never paid a fee to the registrar I was leaving when moving a domain whether one of my own or one belonging to a client. I've moved from Verisign, Network Solutions, Register and several others. All I've ever paid is the renewal fee. Though Network Solutions/Verisign made it difficult by sending a "you must reply within 48 hours to this message or we will deny your transfer" received at 11:50 p.m. on a Friday night. So if I didn't work from home I would have had my transfer denied before retuning to work on Monday. Then the whole thing would have to be started all over. FWIW, I started the domain transfer process the Monday before receiving the "confirmation required" email.
I'll agree that paying over $10 per year for a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us is over spending. Can't speak about .co.uk from personal experience. The registrar I've been using for the last year is www.namecheap.com. Cheryl D.
