Best way to treat waiver/non waiver leagues?

Currently league is setup as no waivers. Strictly the wild,wild,west and its all cut throat and strategic that you stay on top of everything.
How can we differentiate the league from other standard leagues that have a standard waiver system.
Welcome to any ideas that's why I'm coming pick the brains of the fantasy gurus in TD.com land.

A lot of people do waiver budgets

I've been in leagues where it's $1 per transaction. That just goes into the pot at the end. The league paid it out over 1st, 2nd, 3rd overall and has given it to the two highest scoring teams (70/30 split) - I'm not in the league any longer, but it made you think about dropping that kicker/defense only to add them a day or two later in order to hoard a player from someone else. League moves were well over 300 or so, so it was a nice little pot.

My current league is $5 for a pick up, but the first league I was in it was $25 per waiver transaction.
We currently allow free agent pick ups daily. But any player who is dropped is on waivers for twenty-four hours and then is treated as a free agent. The site processes transactions automatically at 2 a.m. according to waiver priority. The owner who executes a transaction goes to the bottom of the list.
Most of the discussion each year is a proposal by some to allow instantaneous pickups as in some leagues where, for instance, when Aaron Rodgers is laying on the ground surrounded by trainers, his owner can pick up Matt Flynn in seconds. The owners who have successfully vetoed the instantaneous system are a significant contingent of guys who have families and who rarely get to watch all the games on Sundays. Those of us who never leave the couch during Redzone hours are willing to try the other approach.

This is where we currently stand. We have it set that way and its very cut throat. Some owners may be at the Saints game an had Rodgers playing but Rodgers goes down and boom his opponent next week picks up Flynn ASAP just incase. Rodgers comes back in the 3rd Quarter and Flynn gets dropped.
Very cut throat.
Love the way we have it currently, but just looking for possible different ways to handle this and other instances.

If you had a transaction fee, this would happen a lot less. Base the fee on the buy in. When the buy in was $500 per team, the fee was $25 per transaction. In new league, buy in is $100 and fee is $5. If you make just one change per week, you would add $65 to your cost, plus we charge $5 per loss. It can add up quick.
But a word of caution on transaction fees. We make every owner pay a deposit with the buy at the start of the season. If you don't, you'll have 10 guys who owe $10-55 at the end of the season and tracking them down is a beating for the commissioner. Better policy is to require deposit and make a refund to any owner who doesn't lose or transact enough to blow through the deposit.

Very smart idea on the deposit.
yes it is a bitch. still trying to track down 1 owner, but if I don't get it from him he will put up my entry next season. Not a fan of it, but it is what it is.
