Hello,
I take 400+ .shop a few days ago on Spaceship.
And I found the price of .shop rise from $0.65 to $30 after I buy them
The price $30 last for a few hours, then it back to $0.65.
What's happened?

Registrars give low price as promo for new domain registrations. For some TLDs, they offer very low price to increase number of domain registrations.
They update promos and offers time to time.
Price increase to regular for renewals. Almost all registrars doing this.

So if they want, they can set with any regist fee and keep that price whenever?

Yes. (*within the limits of registry terms & offers). Industry is very competitive, they do it to get new users.
