Yes. People will charge whatever others are willing to pay; however, when that limit is reached we will lose many beginners that can not or do not want to hone there own. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Then again, maybe it is. I have honed for free (except shipping) for some new members in order to help out. I know others have too and I appreciate some of the top people who COULD charge more keeping their fees to a minimum. Although I don't send mine out, it is good to see them trying to keep others in the sport that wouldn't otherwise be able to.
