Guys in our club are charging a VE testing of $12. This seems
like blatant opportunism to me. The FCC says VE's can charge
a fee to recover costs of examination and apparently later
removed any limit to the fees (unless I misread something.)

ALL ARRL groups are (or should be) charging $12.00.

Is everyone charging comparible fees or is our group just a
bunch of grubbers?

Groups under other VECs charge what their VEC tells them to. Their amount need
not be the same as the ARRL's.

I am bringing this up as a troll. I am considering disassociating
myself from the club if the practice is not altered and I am
truly concerned that this is not the right thing for us hams
to be doing.

Your opinion is appreciated.

You're bringing this up because you're absolutely clueless. You have now been
educated, so go crawl back under your bridge.
