I was a stock broker for nine years. It is much easier to mail a
check. Transferring an account involves lots of paperwork and time.
Any time you have cash in an account have them mail it to you or wire
it to you. I'm not saying you are wrong but simply ignorant. I would
consider it an expensive lesson and move on.

Amen to that. He could have saved himself $80 and us a thread on a "bitch"
post if he'd at least done his 'due diligence' up front and ASKED about any
possible fees BEFORE he took action. The wire transfer alone (from anyplace)
would definitely involve a fee. I haven't done a 'wire' in a few years but as
I recall the fee then was about $20. I also think he was implying that the
broker was charging him $80 as a 'mad at him' punishment fee. In fact,
given this fellow's attitude toward an $80 'event', I suspect his 'friendly
broker' was happy to hand him over to somebody else. :)
