I've seen fees as high as $150 and even paid Ivory Beads $75 for a transfer of a gun they were selling to me. From what I gathered on the ATF site, the regulations did not allow for a fee that high.
About 6-7 years ago, Ivory Beads told me they really didn't want to do any more out of state transfers but would if I insisted. New fee: $225 IIRC. Jerry just hated all the paperwork associated with bringing in guns from private sellers. Some of the fees are for CA paperwork, I think. One shop we know gets around some of the fee limitations by "renting" you their FFL for $50 to do the transfer, plus the cost of the transfer itself.
