You can register direct with the Registry (Adamsnames) for $50 per year.

Drats, that's still like 5.5 times more expensive than average domain :|

What do you call average?
This is a small registry serving a small island community. You can't compare small island registries with .com - your overheads per domain are a lot higher when you have just a few thousand domains, compared with the many million domains under .com.
When you run a registry for a small community you basically have three choices:
- charge a price that will cover your costs, or
- try to turn yourself into a quasi-GTLD like.tv or .ws (which some small communities may not actually want their national registries to do), or
- give up and go home
50 dollars is fairly average for small island registries like .vg - some small islands charge significantly more.

.tt at the registry the cost is $1000:D
It really depends on the country and their rules, some countries give their citizens free domains and charge for foreigners, it all depends
