Oh, you meant the buyer, not the seller. Sorry, I was confused.

I'd tell them hell no i'm not paying a transfer fee on a gun you have in stock. That is ridiculous!!
I hate Businesses like that, we have a guy in our town i will never and i mean never deal with a again, even if he has the last box of ammo on the planet, i will never give him a dime, because he does that type of stuff all the time to people, he is a Cheating Lying, Usless Idiot. Sorry to rant, i would walk away from the deal, and make sure they understood, that everyone you know which is 30,000+ with OSA will know about it and that you are hurting your long term business. I would rather lose $60.00 now and gain $10,000.00 later.
I don't think there is any rules or laws against charging a NICS fee for a gun that is in stock or a transfer. Though for an in stock gun, it is a little slimey, kinda like car dealers and their "document fees".
One could argue, that if it was a NICS fee, that since they already did the NICS check that you already are obligated to pay it. Though if this fee was not disclosed, then I definitely wouldn't be paying it. If they don't come back to the agreed price (+ tax?) then I would walk away. Since you haven't forked over any money or signed and purchase agreement (you didn't did you?) you are in control.
BTW, a local infamous gun shop in Del City appears to charge a $65 NICS fee and if you need a firearm transferred they charge $135. For all I know, a transfer might involve the $135 + the $65. Their sign wasn't so clear.

Always agree on a "Out the Door" price before you even start the 4473.
Always.
Always.
Bait and switch!!!!!!
Sucks to not be able to business with a local company that is less than a mile from my house.
this right here 100% of the time.
