Your rate is your rate

You stated a provider asked for a higher rate for the area and you paid,so technically she bartered with you. I guess somehow that computes to you not bartering.

Where did I say I paid it? Reading and comprehension aren't your strong suit are they?

You were saying, Jim?

True that! Which ensures that most of us won't have to deal with bottom feeders.

It is odd. For an activity that is so off the open market- the hobby may be the ultimate capitalistic service economy. We have seen new ladies enter the market at low rates and raise them as they got their feet under them. We have seen new ladies enter the market at rates that were unrealistic who either learned, disappeared or improved the experience.

"Buyers" have a wide range of criteria and plenty of information to research how likely they are to have the experience that they want and can change their criteria as they choose- thus changing their buying patterns. "Sellers" can price as they choose and the market will respond accordingly. Not only that, by their offerings and price, the can target to attract a certain segment of buyers- again to their own preference.

Add to that the fact that each geographic market has different dynamics, then supply and demand comes into play. Rates tend to be lower in markets where there are many "sellers" than in markets with fewer.

And there are those buyers who wish to negotiate a price- as well as sellers who will do so and others who will not- further segmenting the market.

In the end, the hobby is a case study in free market economics . So Jim,... it really does not matter if a lady's rates make sense to us or not. All the information we could possibly want is available if we do our homework. Yes, there is always some risk that the experience is not what we hoped for and as such not a good value that day. After all, these are women who provide a very personal service- and in the services business (including doctors, therapists, attorneys, CPA's, etc) some days are just better than others.

I'm just sayin...

well did u enjoy your self is the question i always ask and it depends on who what where for me and when and the time of the day frequency of calls and who is going where with what basically if u pay it u gotta be ok with the product that comes to u or whatever

[Revive]

I see very few providers multiple times ... Usually due to scheduling issues more then anything .... One provider I did see multiple times seemed to enjoyed my company as much as I did her and I had my own special rate from then on ... Kinda surprised I've never run across that again.

Jim,

Simple question & welcome to ECCIE AR.

Here are answers to your OP.

For some reason UTR ladies generally charge more. They are using the 'exclusivity" card.You are supposed to believe you are part of a select group & thus pay more for the privilege not offered to the masses aye? Like JRoget vs Lafitte, yes?

Travelers will oftentimes change their pricing to market standard or market availability. Ripley tomatoes are cheaper in Mphs but if all tomatoes in Mphs are $5 a lb then Ripleys will be too.

different pricing across multi sites - thinking they are covering the spread as it were. That's a volume practice & erroneous thinking that BPers are cheap and TER/411 are higher end.

As for hotels, oh kiss my ass Blad. I in general agree with you but find myself more comfy in the 2.5 range of hotels which will include days Inn sometimes. I want a fridge & micro in my room, free breakfast 7 free wifi. Onsite laundry is a bonus. That shoots alot of 4 stars out of the water. location cleanliness & inroom fridge any day. Motel 8 ...there is one in Mphs that I frequent quite a bit ...location trumps. Damn snob. :P It is quarter past beachtime btw.

Hampton and Hyatt Place are like 2 star sweetheart.. They are common.. Just tend to be without the BP chicks and their "Managers"..

And kiss?? Well it is a great little ass..

Am I the only one that likes a high class date in a total dump motel? Brings out the nasty!

I've done a bit of light negotiation for multiple hour/multiple girl services, but isn't really the norm. I have suggested prices if a particular rate was not offered up in the ad.

Double checking prices, I pretty much always do that with someone new. And I usually confirm if I am receiving a grandfather rate.

At the end of the day, I try not to start the "working relationship" on the foot of trying to save $50. That being said, I have been able to afford to be off Backpage (or Craigslist in its glory days) for a while. When I was on there, I was counting my pennies.

As for overcharging? Well for $750 for 2 hours I would expect gorgeous, flawless body, full PSE up for doing pretty much anything, flawless DD jugs, a fantasy girl persona, and outcall to my house where I can enjoy myself with the pleasures of home.

...but sometimes you just need to drop the cash to kill the curiosity.

Thanks for the intelligent answer Babee. Much better than the "it is what it is" answers.

I'm a little OCD, I think that at least Hilton/Hampton Inn's and their direct competitors are cleaner than Days Inn. Better soap I guess, Lol. I know its most likely not true but I do believe at least Hampton's are a little more consistent from place to place throughout the nation.

...but sometimes you just need to drop the cash to kill the curiosity. - Yank, you are correct sir. She was many things of what you described but no DD's just a nice B's on her thin frame.
