Who are trying / getting discount from new girls?

[David1970]

Personally I think it fucks off the SP by bartering and therefore risking a shit/reduced service.. that’s if she even agrees to see you.

It was a silly bloody thread in the first place.

[OakTree]

I do think prossies in this country are over-priced: but haggling I think is usually self-defeating. It can get you a bad rep and resentment from the prossie (maybe ok if you don’t give a fuck about her attitude). Plus it’s inconsistent. I prefer to offer an honest price and hold the SP to honest service in return. That’s hard to do if I’ve haggled for a discount.

I’m not against haggling. In some countries it’s the norm in some situations. But here I can’t be arsed coming across as a cheapskate

I think that sums it up perfectly.

[EnglishRebecca121]

I would tell you to fuck right of you cheeky c*nt.
reverse bookings are the ONLY time i would lower my rate , haggling is the quickest way to piss off girls and to be talked about and warned about, i reckon you are probably already mentioned on saafe.

grade a twat.

Of course you could just say no thanks.

Yes I can see why you’d be defensive over something that if given some leverage could open the flood gates but it’s hardly cuntish behaviour. Impolite perhaps?

What? How? Can't find a post about me on SAAFE. 

[Helloyou75001]

I went to my local coffee shop at 3pm on a Wednesday. It was dead, I was the only client. I asked for a discount on a cappuccino arguing the barista would still make a big profit on the coffee, and his fixed costs would stay the same no matter whether I buy anything or not. Cunning plan. However, he tried to shove the longest sausage roll he had you-know-where. I wonder why...

Not something to do in a "chain" coffee shop, where the barista is not the owner of the shop and just get fixed salary and apply fixed price.....

However, on a Saturday market, It's fairly common to negotiate price as you deal directly with owner. When I sell any item on gumtree, I think 80% of the time I'm being asked for a discount.

So even in England it's fairly common. 

[NotThePrimeMinister]

By local I meant independent.

I have been known to drive landlords, car salesmen and certain business suppliers into tears when negotiating. I don't mind negotiating. If I weren't good at it I wouldn't be doing the job I am doing.

BUT I recognise when it's appropriate to do so, and when not.

I don't think a single person has agreed yours is a good strategy. The general consensus seems to be you are a time wasting c**t who's giving punters, and in particular Asian punters, a bad name.

Want to continue doing it? Knock yourself out. Just don't expect rounds of appluases here.

[Midori]

I politely say no to people who haggle and make a mental note of who they are. It doesn't give a good impression at all. Plus, my rates are reasonable for my area and I get the footfall that's right for me, so I don't see why I would choose to accept a lower rate when I don't have to.

RB's are the only time I would consider lowering my rates.

But this time wasters is worse.
He is saying I've made a note of your discount, but I am skint this month. I will come back next month when it suits me and expect you to keep your side of the bargain!

[Gordon Bennett]

My experience with hagglers of Asian descent is that they won't fucking stop! Even when you have bartered and haggled for 30mins and finally settled on a price, at the point of sale they start again and try and give you less cash.
I suspect most ladies would worry even if they accept your verbal offer of £50 once you turn up you'll start haggling again, offer £40 or try and negotiate extra time or services. I don't think you realise how most people find this to be extremely irritating, annoying, vexing, disrespectful and disruptive.... you urgently need to realise the long-term damage you'll do to your reputation, the reputation of punters and the willingness of escorts to work anywhere near you.

[Waterhouse]

Cannot believe this crap thread is still running.

OP, stop being such a cheapskate and get a life.  People like you make it harder for decent SS's who just want to have a good time.

Like I said before, if you don't like what a lady is adverting as her charges, then look elsewhere. I'm sure there are plenty of lowlife, drug addled skanks out there that would love to take whatever you offer them.  The quality ladies will only block you, though.

[Belgarion]

I don't haggle in the land of punt. Last thing I want is a grumpy SP.

For a longer booking, I tell the SP what I'm after and for how long and ask her to name a price.

The sensible SPs respond well and the others do not.

Not rocket science

This is essentially what a reverse booking is about. I'm sure there is wiggle room with pro$$ies on a longer booking, three or four hours or more. 

[sancho.panza]

As a self employed tradesman the OP is exactly the sort of customer that I refuse to work for because I know that they are going to be a nightmare.  As with everything else in life, if you only want to pay peanuts expect to get a monkey.

[Belgarion]

Hello all,

I'm trying a new technique to optimise my punting budget. I tend to do cheaper punts due to my limited budget as well!

Hidden Image/Members Only
"Hello [birdname], are you available today for 30min? I only have £50 available"

-- Bird is advertising £60 for 30min. So asking for £10 discount --

I just started yesterday and had some positive answers, and others who didn't answer (may have blocked me).

I think I'll start a new thread on this as it's risky and can end up either on a shit service or being blocked.


Anyone is doing that? Which birds are the most likely to accept (except the overpriced ones)? Are the services the same if they accept? How much discount can you get in average?

I thought you had optimised your punting budget and had 500 quid lying about.

Still looking for discounts?

[Helloyou75001]

Yes that's my budget when I have a job. But sometime I have dry months (ie. No clients) and I need to restrict my budget.

And I also would like to get some more expensive birds (£70-£100 / 30min) I usually never contact.

Maybe I'll do reverse booking then and hope the ones I like will contact me...

A sensible person would save that £500 quid for a rainy day if they didn't have a regular income.

Best of luck with your future endeavours and hopefully you engage your brain

Some will negotiate on longer bookings. Doing that for a 30-minute booking though...idiot. I hope many of them block you.

[skywhy123]

I'd definitely try I mean what else do you have to lose except time?

[scutty brown]

You haven't done a lot of punting have you?
And I don't think you'll be doing much in the future if you try that..............

That comment places you very high in the "First Post Pillock" ratings

[workinallweek]

long bookings have seen a modest discount ie 200 instead of 220

one regular never put my price up and 2 hour booking lasted closer to 2 1/2  but all down to them really

[shagmore]

I had a punt with a lass, on the way had to stop for cash from the hole in the wall, but the usual one was out of order, so had to make a 5 mile detour. Text the lass to say would be a few mins late due to traffic, she understood - no issue.
After the punt we where talking and said that was late due to traffic as had to get to another cash machine, I only had £100 on me and she was £120. She said you should have said as I have seen you before would have done it for that.
So there you go, phone up just before punt, say cash machine out of action will be late as only have £ x amount - might work - might not
Next time she is in my area, will call and say only got the £100 or £110
I think as long as you don't appear to take the piss you won't get blocked

[NotThePrimeMinister]

The OP is in London. You don't need a 5 mile detour to find another ATM in London. If I were a WG I'd be understanding only with a regular, only in a rural area, and only if it's a one off. But I'm not a WG!

Yes I know, but I wasn't on about bloody London, I was out in the sticks where ATMs are miles apart - and trying to find a bank is another thing, it was just offering up some feedback of my experience - why so negative

[Fuzzyduck]

I've just slapped myself round the head for reading the whole of this thread. Muppet.

OP has been called everything from twat to tight cunt to cheapskate to vermin and, my personal favourite, classless act but, fair play, through all the abuse he keeps coming back as a flag bearer for his discount strategy. Tells you something about the mindset.

I sold a pushbike on eBay some years ago. This guy (happened to be Asian, probably unfair of me to mention it) came round to look at it. Offered me a joke price and I declined saying I'd let the auction run its course. He won the listing at a much higher price and asked to come pay cash. OK says I.
Round he comes and starts pointing out (minor) faults about the bike and offers a lower price. I say no, the price is the price. He starts haggling. I tell him to leave saying I'm not selling it to him. Even as I'm ushering off my drive with a "fuck off, you timewaster', he's still haggling. Cunt.

[munterhunter]

HAMMER !!! NAIL !!! HEAD !!!

It's not rocket science is it?
They place an advert on AW or wherever in which they list the services they are prepared to offer and the price they expect for providing the services. How many negative reviews do we see when an offered service isn't provided?
Can you blame the woman for being pissed off when you start trying to lower the price? Especially on a 30 minute punt that really is taking the piss!

[Fuzzyduck]

Oh my. I didn't even look at the other thread. Life's too short. Move on.

[NotThePrimeMinister]

Shagmore, I didn't mean to be negative. I wasn't sure if you remembered that the Op was in London, that's all. It's easy to misunderstand each other online, so sorry if I came across as nasty.

So do I, I believe I gave her a good review so maybe get a free-be (you can but hope)

That is definitely a time waster AND dishonest person. He bidded the price and that should be what he should have paid.

That's not what I am suggesting. Nothing dishonest about what was suggested.

Indeed. Even prossies on a punting board can manage to contribute the occasional line of sense. (Even better when it’s only one line).

[Cupid Stuntz]

You sound like the sort of Cunt* who would Gazunder when buying a new house.

How about 'twunt', best of both words .

Absolutely it's ridiculous. OP is a full weight twat IMHO who is taking the piss. 

My issue is that you definitely do NOT "speak" for the majority of pro$$ies as per your post here.....

https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=205632.msg2114254#msg2114254

.....and the subsequent posts where you tried to justify yourself beneath it. The use of broad brushstroke assumptions like what you have made is nonsense as you cannot know for certain that what you state as definitely being the case is actually correct. 

[Marmalade]

Unnecessary effort. One simply has to wonder if the OP is a twat. Much easier to answer.
