New Year --- Increase in Prices

[Punter115]

Well guys what are the chances of our lovely ladies in the main, increasing their prices in the New Year?
I am aware it is different rates in differing parts of the country but what other job do you get paid on average at minimum of £2 per minute or even more ???
As clients can we not do something on mass about any further increases and tell them enough is enough ???
Any sensible ideas would be welcomed.

Footballers, actors / actress, singers the list goes on.

Given your example are we saying run of the mill working girls are to be benchmarked in the same  category as celebrities ??

How about discussing prices going down?

I think it was Dani that mentioned February is a good month for reduced rates. January they have to pay off their debts on whatever they spend money on in the last month, toys, drugs, childminders, fines, stuff the Social hasn't covered. February is when reality more likely kicks in a bit.

Sergei will no doubt be hit by petrol prices for his lorries.

Yeah agreed but prosssie logic dictates half of them will probably put their prices up cause they want more money.
At the end of the day it's supply and demand so unless punters stop punting a girl due to her prices being too high then she has no incentive to drop them back down, couple of girls that i'd like to see but won't due to them simply being too expensive.

At least some of these have a skill.

You asked 'but what other job do you get paid on average at minimum of £2 per minute or even more ?' and I gave examples, if you had asked 'what other job would be in the same category as a prossie' I would've answered differently.   

I had imagined you would've taken my post in the humorous manner it was intended (hence the 'sarcastic' emoji) but never mind happy to explain. 

[Punter115]

I thought in my simplistic way if enough of us made a noise on A/W the ladies that read this may think again?
DavieMac ...no problem ...Have a good one ....cheers.

I've bashed on about prices since I joined ukp.

In reality my budget is 120 on the hour. That's not just a financial budget but a budget on principal.

I have seen 140/150 on the hour lasses but the higher rate will be less beneficial for her business from my own point of view. For the higher ones....

I will enquire/require a 45 minute booking and a return or regular punt will be highly unlikely, just on principal.

Also, with the higher the price comes a much higher expectation from me. You may think that's not the right way to think with ymmv etc, but at 150 quid for an hour I want it all, if not you'll be reading about it on here under a grey or red header.

When I say it all, I mean it all... looks, likes, attitude, delivery, venue, parking and professionalism. Anything not at the tip top is a bad experience for me at that kind of money.

Having said all that clap trap.... if we pay it, they'll charge it.

No, not really.     

Have you not heard of "market forces" ----------------- old dogs may do discounts, pretty young girls will always be busy.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire.

Spot on.

When you get to my age, 70s, you have to be more realistic about what's do-able.  I automatically look in the MILF aisles of the market, and there's enough there charging around the £100/hour mark to meet my needs.  I have one or two well-reviewed - thanks, cueball! - girls on my Hotlist at prices higher than that but I'm not sure if I've got the stamina for them!!

[Punter115]

But where will it all end I ask you?
I am an O.A.P. trying to survive on my meagre state pension ...I have had to stop the heating and the lighting  ...I am only accepting Christmas presents ,not given this year .... so what next to save a bob or two ,cutting back on the food probably ....
All that will be left to keep me going in my old age will be Bottles of Glenmorangie and 2 legged dogs going cheap !!   
 

[cueball]

2 legged dogs going cheap !!   
 

And here were me thinking only budgies went cheap 

[tdh]

  - hats off to the 70 year olds that can still get it up, I hope I still can at that age

I absolutely agree prices are too high for just 1 hour of what can be mediocre services. Playing devils advocate  how would we feel if we had to fuck, suck, kiss, touch some of the men they must see come through their revolving door. It gives me the creeps to think about what might have been in the holes before me

[Bigjohn]

There's a thread running on Saafe discussing price increases in the New Year.
To me, it is simple. We have a choice, we either choose to pay or we choose not to pay.
I choose not to pay, and have already significantly reduced my number of punts a year to single figuires.
Buy yourself a fleshlight, it will significantly reduce the urge & yes they are that good.

[bigmanbigman]

But that said a wg i have seen has put her prices down from £100 per hour to £90 per hour
She said that brings new clients also in a day she makes up to £400 more all by reducing prices
Shame other wgs don't think that way ?

[MilleMiglia]

Anyone complaining about prices can't have been at this long. I'm paying the same in parlours as I did well over a decade ago, in fact probably 15 years ago, so in real terms we've seen one hell of a drop. That said, I do wonder what possessed me to pay the prices I did back then, as I don't actually feel as though I'm getting a bargain now.

[The_Don]

Some punters may budget and will only spend, a set amount per hour or over a given time. Other factors, may also influence that.

Once a W/G, exceeds a that, I would just move on and have done may times.

I've also had regulars keep me at the same rates, even if the rates have risen over time, for new or other punters.

Like I said before, it up to the W/G what price she set/charges. Some punters will pay, others will not and move on.

 That's not just a financial budget but a budget on principal.

Now this is one point that some times influence me. When I'm looking to return to a W/G (I've punted). Or may be, punt with a new one.

I've read some reviews of W/G, I've been looking to punt. Then I've noted, up to a 100% rate rise, in less than 12 months. Currently in these cases I prefer to move on and look elsewhere.

If you have the time     Care to share via some reviews and it may be useful to genuine punters.

That may not have "15 years" experience, compared to the "bargains" your punting now!

Just used the Bank of England inflation calculator, and £120 in 2000 comes in at £182 in 2015 - I'd run a mile from that.

[Keema]

Hiking prices just because it's different year is economic illiteracy and smacks of opportunism. The supply is constant, the demand is constant - the inflationary pressures are the same increasing costs and decreasing discretionary spending. The only logical reason for a price increase is by improving quality. If you on the other hand punt cheap the price will go down as will the overall quality.

What a load of rubbish.

I've punted some W/G at £60 PH that could enlighten some of these other W/G that charge 2 or 3 time more P/H. When it comes to service and attitude and some of my best punts have been at in the sub £100 PH range.

[Scotpunter]

I think price increases have until maybe the last year have kept in line roughly with inflation. I didn't punt regularly 20 years ago. But I was paying around £60 for an hour back then on the odd occasion I did.

I think you will likely find there are far more working girls now, so more sellers should theoretically mean lower prices. The internet made it far easier for them to advertise and us to find. Very few of the AW girls other than the EE's would of sold their wares on a street corner, and other than the Sport or certain shop windows it was impossible to find them. Especially if you weren't in a city.

I do believe the very popular will be able to increase prices, but as others have said they will have to offer a decent service for it. But for the average ones, I think reality will strike come February if they do a price increase. The working mans wages have not kept with inflation for years, so in reality he is worse off. Combine that with an interest rate increase that in my mind is going to happen in the next 6 to 12 months, most punters will not have the money to spend at current rates, never mind increased ones.

There's always exceptions and you've done well to find them. But post a positive review here and the demand will rise and prices will also go up if their motivation is profit maximisation.

Absolutely

In my experience, price seldom reflects service.

Simple. U don't go to them. they'll eventually lower their price. The basics of supply and demand

[dubhcarr]

interesting thread OP...as stated market forces will prevail........I will not pay more than an ammount that varies for each catogary of SP sounds complex but old/been around is IMO less value than experienced & pretty 25,30's babe but better than young/inexperienced....OK got it but SP's that yoyo prices or come back and put prices up without upping their game get blacklisted by me....

this is an expensive hobby and when pricing gets stupid SS's need to look around and send a clear message.....

[Jimmyredcab]

If only life were that simple.   

I know of a Dominatrix who has gradually raised her fees to £220 an hour ----------- I refuse to pay that much but obviously there are clients who are happy to pay it. 

[Keema]

And for her that's economically logical - even it means fewer clients her income is maintained.

A girl with any sense will adjust her prices to hit the sweet spot, if that goes beyond yours or my limit it doesn't automatically follow she'll have to lower them.

As prices go per se they haven't risen at the same rate as inflation. What I do notice is certain individuals suddenly hike their prices. This I can only imagine is to aim at a certain type of customer (An imaginary type of individual who is a well heeled businessman sort with little sense in the ways of payed sex) and at the same time deter the rest. If they're successful the prices stay up, if not they come back down.

[Rain_man]

You guys have it so lucky in the UK.

Where I am (South Korea), indie prices have doubled since 2013, and are only getting higher...while the quality of services has taken a massive plunge. We even have prossies who come to Korea for a few weeks solely to charge what they would never be able to get in their home countries.

 

[bigmanbigman]

Its a natural thing as wgs want to work less they put there prices up .
If that works they put them up again . If that works they set up another profile with pie in the sky prices and get a few bites. If that works they look for a suger daddy at £5.000 a month .

[GreyDave]

  Walk up prices seem to of been the same for 25 years 20-30 quid but the tipping of maids has doubled from a £1 tip to 2-3 quid that's high inflation for you

[Gordon Bennett]

Shame other wgs don't think that way ?

I can't argue with the logic but I struggle with the thought process of the new punters who swarm over her at £90. It infers they like the look of her but have previously held off seeing her for the sake of a tenner.

I have to agree with you, a tenner reduction is hardly going to be a deal breaker for most punters, if they fancy her at £90 then they would almost certainly pay £100.   

[bigmanbigman]

Most other girls are £100 thats the pricing ploy .

Indeed, but many of them are lowlife Romanain skanks who will try to charge "extras".

Absolutely.
I had a 150ph punt a couple of days ago (in the SE review section) and to be frank, she was shite.  On retrospect I'd be giving her a red not grey.
All I got was the same rehearsed shit that I used to get in a parlour.

120 is normally my self imposed total and as of 2017 i'll be sticking to it.

[Punter115]

That is what we need on mass by us punters , solidarity....tell the escorts on A/W ( who will read the threads on this site) that we are not going above paying the maximum of £120 per hour or £70 per half hour as an example.

Been punting quite regularly for over a year and never really noticed any difference in prices.  I did see that one local WG who is £120 is charging £150 down south at the minute but I think that's fairly common.  I think with the Roms undercutting so many WGs they can't really afford to put prices up.  If any of them do then fair play to them.  It's their choice and ours on whether to pay it or not.

not as simple as this I am one of those guys who will not pay the extra tenner PH if I know the SP is taking the piss and upping her price...one forum darling went from 100PH to 150PH just out of greed...and came back down (and BTW IMO she isn't worth her original fee)...you are encoraging cheap SP's to raise their fee to 120PH? probably not........I will pay what I think is value for my hard earned and any arrogant complacent greedy SP's are automatically blacklisted..........SP's will know when their service and attitude delivers value cos they will be busy......

[bigmanbigman]

Yes if punter dont pay mental
Prices £s  its better for ever punter out there .

[Jimmyredcab]

Don't include me in your solidarity movement ---------------- I will pay what I think a girl is worth, prefer to pay £120 an hour but willing to go up to £160 if she ticks all the boxes.

Cash is spent by then !

Of course as we know Jim, some people won't even accept this where a certain lady you have seen is concerned.

I corrected your quote, Jimmy.

Indeed ------------- but that lady has 102 positive reviews and 3 negatives.
