Slow trade for the escorts

[Fkk]

Starting to see escort prices coming down.

A lot of the girls saying it’s slow trade out there.

Lots of us guys are working from home and with guys on the furlough being the major factors. Redundancies are on the increase.

I noticed as we came out of lockdown there was a price hike and escorts trying to make up for lost time. I think has now backfired and girls state that with a saturated market, getting booking is getting harder.

[Decadent Hobby]

Could you give some examples of wgs who have dropped their prices please?

Also - money and opportunity aside - some of us still don't think it's safe to kiss a stranger who has just kissed multiple strangers.

Who is saying this, exactly?
You say "A lot of girls" - how many have you spoken to?

Two in that thread and nothing about dropping their prices.

If the OP is "Starting to see escort prices coming down" he can provide some examples.

Have a read on SAAFE forum and we will see that the girls are struggling with bookings.

Some will be busy because they have a good client base but a lot aren’t getting many bookings hence dropping their rates.

I know when postings on these types of forum you get negative comments but hey I can accept that, is your opinion.

Bargain time happy punting.

Most of the responses to your post have been questions rather than negative comments, FKK. However, I haven't seen any price drops at all, and think that the questions asked are valid ones. Have you actually seen any price drops yourself?

Please stop posting generalities and post examples of these bargains where prices have gone down. You can start with those on your hotlist and how current prices compare to previous pricing and increases.

Exactly.

It has nothing to do with 'negative comments' - lots to do with veracity and backing up with personal evidence rather than widespread generalisations... from someone who has yet to contribute meaningfully.

Prices only go one way.   

[Hobbit]

What a load of crap. Give examples and stop generalizing! It's almost like you're trying to drum up business for the girls. 

[datwabbit]

Business might be slow but prices always seem to cling on. Takes a long time to move them down.

[FLYING BLUE]

Starting to see escort prices coming down.

For me, I would say the Polar opposite is true.

I am constantly rejecting profiles where the 30 mins price is now £80 - £90 or more

in 2015 (for me) - £50 was the norm

in 2017 / 2018 (for me) - it was £60 - and in some places it still is - North East Agencies for example, and I am happy about this.

I've yet to see a single price drop in the regions where I choose to punt

[ArchBacon]

I looked up the handful of NW regs I used to see before C19, all of them have increased their hour rate by £10 since I last saw them pre lockdown. I doubt anyone worth seeing is going to reduce their prices.

[chadpitt]

WGs either increase their prices or just quit.

They can't take the hit to their ego, that comes with lowering prices and upping their services.

[Wadebridge]

Business might be slow but prices always seem to cling on. Takes a long time to move them down.

I agree with Datwabbit's sentiments above. 
Many WGs on SAAFE are moaning that business is very, very slow and some; the serial tourers; are saying that business has been completely killed altogether. I would imagine that it's virtually impossible to go through with a hotel punt now. There might be some 'trickle' of business via 'known and well used' WG houses/flats, or via AirBnB premises, maybe.
Looking through my own hot list, I've not noticed any WG having reduced prices. Hour and half hour rates seem to be much the same as before the Covid lockdown took effect in March. But I've noticed that several WGs;  in my hot lists at least; have still not gone back to work. They clearly don't yet consider it safe.
With the depressing day to day news about the economic hit and planned redundancies, and with more cuts set to come as the furlough scheme ends in October; to say nothing of the virus infection spikes that will inevitably come as the schools go back and more mass gatherings happen; I think business will get even slower for WGs.
Punters will continue to punt in areas where jobs seem to be holding up well, where the economic sectors seem to be 'weathering the storm'. This seems to be in London, Cambridge, and Milton Keynes at the moment, judging by the review boards.
The London board is doing very well, whereas punters in the provinces seem still to be very cautious.  Whether that is down to apprehension, affordability, or WG availability, is not immediately clear as yet to me. But I think the 'new normal', as we start to approach the back end of corona 2020, and indeed going forward into 2021, is that punters will no longer have 'silly money' to spend. Myself included.

[oddson1970]

The OP has to give us examples of girls lowering prices otherwise his post lacks credence.Given his review count, l dont think he punts anyhow....maybe he is just bored and wants to start a pointless debate.

[mightymunce]

Just been reading SAAFE thread. This made me chuckle

At the moment i do not think CV is really affecting bookings unless you are in a area where the commuters are not there as there at home.

"Since being back seeing some clients none of them seem bothered by CV but the crazy thing is a few have said i been really careful but then looking shocked at me insisting on hand sanitizer on arrival and then asking do you do deep french kissing?. Nobody has been bothered who i have seen and considering i have been trying to be a bit careful not getting right near there face plenty have had no problem heavy breathing and panting all over me. There is no respect from them in these serious times."

Would suggest gloves and face masks. If you gonna get that close, no DFK and heavy breathing won't protect. She should just stop or be grateful that she has some biz

Exactly - She needs to quit or stop fucking complaining. Some people eh.

[PLeisure]

Best thing she can do is explore a career change. I mean that kindly. Paying clients will want some return for their cash. It’s going to be some time before any type of oral intimacy/ exchange will be considered safe, imo.

He's a punter and he's posted reviews.

You're either not a punter or a punter who doesn't review. Neither of those bodes well for a long future on UKP.

If you want to be at least vaguely credible then post example of these bargain prices.

Op, there really isn’t an issue here for you.
You’ve pointed something out and made a statement. All you have to do is to provide a couple of examples (at least) or just say that maybe you got it wrong. Simple.

[daviemac]

OK then, I'll ask you, can you provide links (within the rules) of escorts that you have seen reduce their prices. I mean actual profiles where previous prices can be verified, not hearsay.

Precisely, why make a statement if you can't back it up. 

[Rajaclub]

Haven’t noticed any price reductions in the Yorkshire areas.

[Metalgear2018]

That's a lie. Here in Hertfordshire it's an average of £70 for 30mins.

Prices won't fall until next year summer. A lot of pimps are going to ride the wave and see what the economic situation will look like in a year or 2.

 Plus people still have money a lot of money. look at the new 2020 car models driving up and down the street. Look at people flying off to spain. I myself had a choice of buying a pair of wireless earphones for £150 or booking an escort. I chose the earphones.

Good choice. They'll keep your ears warm. 

[yorkieyorkie]

OP you’re so full of shit. You’ve provided zero examples.

I’ve seen the prices ONLY increase. Hardly any girl is lower than £80 for 30 mins.

I have considered dropping my prices, And I will be honest about my fees. I started at £100 an hour December 2018, Feb 2019 £150 and then September 2019 £170 and December £190 and still achieved a good wage. I'm thinking back to £150 an hour.

I am in two minds as to whether to reduce my prices after lockdown.  I will probably try the first couple of weeks on my usual prices then see how I go.  I may do a slightly reduced hourly rate.  Even if I just knock a tenner off.

[tesla]

not really wanting to get into the discussion on this thread, but the first thing that stand out on the examples above is they are all dated April so therefore out of date, we are in August now things have changed in the past few months, so the comments listed are no longer relevant.

I’m planning to come back when government opens up the hospitality sector

Think money is going to be tight post lock down

My rates pre covid were £150ph
I will be reducing them to £120, I think £100ph would attract the wrong clientele for me

I was challenged that prices are not coming down. I was asked to proved evidence whether it April or May is a bit trivial. I still provide the evidence that was asked for.

Out-dated statements of intent NOT actual prices advertised (you quote one girl twice).  Where are their current active listings with their pricing?

Christ I hope you're nothing to do with law-enforcement or indeed any role requiring evidence-based reasoning.  Perhaps you're a dodgy tradesman?

I'd disagree there. WG's generally live for the moment and don't have rainy day money for the slow times. They will have had to lower their normal living standards during lockdown with no money coming in, then I agree with the OP here, they have tried to increase the prices to make up the loss. This has backfired as there are less punters or money around, and will now begin to lower prices.

People flying off to Spain??? Not a chance. Weren't Jet2 telling all passangers to get home as they couldn't guarantee future flights? Who is going to risk flying!

Any new car on the road will likely have been ordered pre lockdown and only just getting delivered. Dealers will be catching up there. Once those are delivered there will be no new orders having been placed. Watch a lot of dealerships disappear.

Once the furlough scheme ends, a massive amount of businesses are going to go tits up.

What you have listed are out of date quotes from a site where prossies talk among themselves. Please provide links to their AW profiles so we can see for ourselves their public statement of the intent to reduce prices. By that I mean the profiles you have seen where the prices have reduced.

There's a local girl I've met a few times, shortly before lockdown she reduced her prices by £10 an hour, she's into her 30s now and had mentioned that she feared she was soon going to be too old to maintain her prices, she stopped working for a few months over the worst of the virus then returned and put the tenner back on and removed DFK stating virus safety reasons, the £10 hike remains and DFK has returned.

It's all very mixed, there always was the supply and demand and services available equations, we now have virus prevention and shortage of punters.

It's all very mixed, there always was the supply and demand and services available equations, we now have virus prevention and shortage of punters.

I think the supply / demand is a large part of this really, my standard search parameters for Lancashire used to show around 115 girls however it's still only showing around 85 which is up from about 75 a month or so ago.

Clearly not all girls have returned so logically those who are working should be busier however there are more punters who still aren't punting hence business is down overall.
The reasons for not punting will be multiple including health concerns as the age demographic of male punters is probably higher than average therefore more risk from CV19 but also less money from furlough or concern of redundancy etc

Buying a service from a girl is the same as buying a service or goods from a high street shop, how much do you need the goods or can you go without or hold out for a discount or sale.
From the sellers point of view they can maintain the price and sell less or drop the price to sell more but make less profit per sale but still more profit than selling nothing. Let's face it though the majority of these girls can't even work out a logical pricing scale to charge for 30 minutes vs 1 hr vs 2 hours etc so it's no good asking them to factor in fixed overheads and break even point etc 

[FLYING BLUE]

Starting to see escort prices coming down.

Lots of us guys are working from home and with guys on the furlough being the major factors. Redundancies are on the increase.

I noticed as we came out of lockdown there was a price hike and escorts trying to make up for lost time. I think has now backfired and girls state that with a saturated market, getting booking is getting harder.

Kinda flies in the face of what we are seeing here:

Yeah and here, I started a piss take price thread in the NW last Sept which now has over 900 replies including many gems in the last couple of months 

All the OP needs to do is link a few girls AW accounts who are now offering a comparable service at a cheaper price compared to pre lockdown, the price should be easily verifiable to previous reviews etc.

If price reductions are so commonplace then surely this isn't an onerous task so i'm not sure what the delay is
