If you have so much business that you won't miss that ten-spot you could have had, maybe. What if you charged that $35? Then there's over $20 in your pocket after taxes.

$35 is about the going rate.

I was in a local gun shop and he had a sign on the wall, Transfer fee $25, transfer fee from Buds Gun Shop $50.

$20-$25 dollars seems to be the going rate in my neck of the woods.

Our LGS charges us $20 but we do a lot of business with them. They normally charge $25.

At $35.00, I would gross $31.13 (the fist deduction is $1.87 sales tax and $2 fee for the State Police), from which taxes consume $15.04, leaving me $16.09.

I am willing to do transfers netting $16.09, but I have my license at my residence, so I save on overhead. But the fact is I got back into this business to give something back to the shooting community. I owe a huge debt personally and professionally to shooting.
