What are you folks paying? Do they hit you harder for online stuff like Buds, GB? Any shops wave the fee if you buy from them at a higher cost? $75 sound crazy?
Average price in NYS for a long gun transfer?

Last long gun i bought the guy charged me 100! Wish i woulda asked first, i assumed it would be about 50 as thats what i paid for the several before that one (from a different shop). Needless to say i wont use that guy again.
Better to buy/sell with someone you trust and say FUNY (if you can).

Wasn't unSAFE supposed to limit that to $10?
Not sure where you are, but Wallkill River Small Arms I believe is $25 for a long gun bought online. In person private transfer is $10.
And yes, $75 is near robbery

Allstar Tactical in Rochester area has charged me $25 per transfer for a few years now. unSAFE supposedly limited it to $10, but that's ridiculously low amount to expect the FFL to do.
$75-$100 seems high, but whatever the market will bear.

$100??!!! Did that transfer come with a little sack of gold? I would have said, no thanks and left.

Well let's see. When I purchased the shotgun I purchased from @VetTechCherrybomb the fee was $35 (not local).
I ordered a shotgun from Buds and picked up local $25

My last experience back in August was $50. Plain robbery by a guy I've known and done business with for over twenty years. No more. My barber has gone the same route, haircut is now $25, and he doesn't even work fulltime any more.
I don't begrudge anybody who is in business to charge whatever they want for their services or products, but gouging is another matter.
For me, from now on, $25 max for FFL involvement...and only if I absolutely have to. And my new barber charges $18 and does just as good a job.

Had we been able to use my normal guy (literally a mile down the road) it would only have been $10, but he wasn't available that day unfortunately. The place we used has a lock on that area as far as mainstream ffl goes.

I haven't seen $100 yet, but between $25-75 is what I've seen it go up to since the Rona panic started. Most places raised their prices. I definitely get it for handguns since (at least in Westchester), theymight be storing that piece for you for anywhere from weeks to months. That takes up space in their safe and creates one more place for errors in their compliance ledger. For rifles, where they have to unbox it, log it, store it for a day or two, hand you the 4473, and call in your background check, $75 is pretty nuts.

If they cost anything at all it's an infringement.

It is much more of a hassle than you described. It don't really matter if its one day or a year FFL has to accept delivery, unpack it, log it in their book and then notify buyer that it is ready for pickup. some show up before it is logged in because tracking told them it was delivered and they expect FFL to drop everything and take care of them. Now the 4473 can be done that can take a few minutes, days, 30+ day NY wait or never. After a proceed is given FFL must finish paperwork, log it out of book then store 4473 for 20 years all because buyer is saving money buying online where seller doesn't have to deal with all that crap. Time is money and I don't think anyone here works for peanuts.

Very true but it is the law until somehow its changed.
