I was kind of hoping for US$5 each, but it could have been worse. (The people on the forums before this was announced going "I'd buy class X for $20" scared me, and traumatised my wallet.)

150SC buys 10 broker tokens, each of which allows you to list or buy one item (or stack of items, presumably). Listed auctions can be unlisted/relisted and have the price changed without limit, but removing the items from the broker won't refund tokens. Tokens are also only available on the character that buys them, and can't be used by other characters on the account. The devs have said they're watching developments to see if the price needs changing, and larger packs of tokens at slightly lower per-token prices may be available in the future.

I'm finding the game to be a fun distraction - rolled a 2nd character today so I can alternate between the two (Swashbuckler and Inquisitor) for a bit of play-style variety (and give a second tradeskill a try).

Apparently SOE have had a change of heart, and will be allowing purchase of classes by bronze and silver players (supposedly on a per-class basis, as opposed to the 3-packs for races - it's on the forums, but there's not much detail as yet), and are looking at changing the chat and broker limits as well.
