Most of registrars take about the new registration fee for transfer.

yep, that's what I said. Let me clarify what I meant:

There is no money needed for the actual transfer though (for instance, i think that there is no penalty or service charge for icann). Any fees are equivilant to the new registration cost (1-year).

Registrars advertise it as a kind of promotion (transfer your domain and get 1 year free). But this is not really accurate. What they mean is, transfer the domain for FREE and pay the registration fee for a year, as you would for a normal domain.
