Duke, which registrar where you able to use to transfer the .ws Domains to? I have 2 at NameCheap which charges almost $30 for a renew, not as bad as $70 but I only paid $15 originally for the reg.
Thanks,

I did not mean transfer them out to a different registrar. When I sell one I simply transfer it to the buyers' account at GoDaddy (if they don't have one they can open one at no charge).
If you have registered them somewhere else then you are subject to the demands of that registry. As izopod noted, if you are at one of the ripoff registries like Register, NetSol or the .WS registry itself, you will likely get raped (which is why these registries are losing tens of thousands of customers every year).
However I would have thought you could open a GoDaddy account and put in a transfer request to have the domain transferred in from Register and only have to pay the one year etxension at Godaddy which would be much less. I have transferred other extensions from Register into my own accounts with no problems. They may have different rules on .ws though.
