For any who're interested, Gandi's extension price per additional year:
$23.99 linuxmafia.com (was $14.34 to transfer in) $24.99 unixmercenary.net (was $15.74 to transfer in)
The step-up in price from the new-customer sweetheart deal is, of course, expected. Punishment of customer loyalty is the rule, in the registrar business.
