Finally, I was almost out the door and what do they do? Pull me back in. But damn they are expensive, guess thats there way off making sure we get rid of our A$ so we won't use them to buy monthly or have to purchase more A$.

They're all pretty nice, but YES there's a bit of sticker shock.
Sadly I think this is AChat undergoing inflation. The spanking position was a A$199 when previous new positions were A$150. I think their increasing of the A$ to go with the increased prices has caused the "economy" to grow too quickly and now prices are increasing to match it.
This isn't even the cynicism talking when I say I don't see this going well.

I was rather surprises at the sticker price on those too,...the het set poses have risen over the past month Janine Dee, so I agree it's probably here to stay.

I think that the worst part is that it's self-inflicted. The most basic economic theory teaches that if your economy is growing too quickly you need to slow it down (like by increasing interest rates), by the same token if it's sluggish you need to get more money in (say by lowering those same rates so people are willing to borrow).
Right now AChat seems to be entering a boom, but unless something is done they will bust. While the A$ is a fictional money it is a money and follows the same rules, and just printing more never works. Increasing prices is a stop gap measure at best since the market is so limited (what they can implement vs the monthlies getting more A$ each month).
While this is a virtual economic structure it is still a economic structure, and it's showing stresses.
