Becoming more expensive; or is she getting greedy?!

[Rochdull lad]

About an hour or so ago, I posted this in another thread:

Similarly with Regulars; one I used to see every three months or so seems to have disappeared from AW.   Ah well; there are others to see!

After going through various posts on here, I went onto my local Board and found that someone else had been missing the same girl and that another punter had done a bit of detective work.

It turns out that the girl the other punter and I had missed was External Link/Members Only, who seems to have re-invented herself and is now charging £30 p.h. more than she used to, although there's a £10 discount from that for previous clients under her old nickname but only if you see her before the end of next month.

I enjoyed my visits to her and feel sure that I almost certainly would enjoy a return visit.  My question, however, is why should I go back and pay 20% - 30% more than I did last autumn for what I'm sure will be essentially the same service?

Getting greedy

[SirFrank]

Judging by the size of her tits I imagine the increase in price is to cover the cost of her reinforced bras

[Trenlover]

she may have more rent to pay or something, if she has changed venue?

you could arrange a meeting then when you turn up, say you only have enough money that covers her old fee.  although in that situation you run the risk of getting  a subpar service because she may feel she has been bought on the cheap.

tbh depends on how many times you intend to see this girl in the future. at once per three months she probably wont value you as a "regular". Basically you wont have any bargaining power unless your really seeing her on a regular basis.

cant see her profile at moment AW is down, but I would pay £20-£30 more if the service was predictably good, although definitely no more than £30.

I dont think its due to greed tbh, unless she is getting ALOT of business, increasing your prices almost always invariably means less customers at your door.

would a premiership player play for conference wages.  No.

A small minority of prossies are fit as fuck and good at what they do, some gain confidence and increase there rates.  Some take the piss, some are pig ugly, some smell and most talk shite. 
But can anyone seriously blame a quality prostitute for asking for more?

[CBPaul]

You've got to decide whether she is worth the new fee Rochdull. Seems greedy to me though.

I was seeing a superb Polish girl a couple of years ago for £100 ph, exceptionally good vfm. I thought she'd still be great vfm at £120 - not that I put that idea into her mind ! At the time a group of polish girls took it in turns to visit Jersey, and put prices up. The one in question duly did so and raised to £140 ph, which I decided was too much.

Now, this one External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only was about last year at £130 ph, which was just about OK for the service she gave, she worked sporadically but always seemed to get 2 or 3 new fb each time she was working. Old profile disappeared, this one came along and rate has gone up to £150 - still zero fb and I'm wondering when she'll realise that she's over priced herself.

Another vote for greedy from me.

Regulars should get discounts in my opinion, certainly not a price hike!

[firemansam]

Its always been this way - girl starts off fairly low and as she gains experience and skills she raises her prices.

some agencies are open about it (see. maxes angels - where they get promoted to the next pay bracket once they have proved reliable and popular etc)

tbh I'd happily pay extra to a proven girl I like if she decides to raise her rates, I don't think its greedy per se

I dont know how Id manage if I were still paid the same as when I started out

[potato]

For fucks sake, we are at it again. Do remember that pro$$ies read this site as well.  Comments like "I would pay £30 more for a good service" is ludicrous. Pro$$ie's don't read the "good service" bit they just see that you would pay £30 more 

If we were talking about people on minimum wage then that's different. When did you last have a 30% wage increase? It's not like the majority are paying tax and NI on their earnings anyway..

Agreed,  that makes the most business sense.

[Dani]

Raising prices is inevitable at some stage but I think it is only good business sense to keep previous clients at the old rate. By previous clients I mean clients you have seen twice or more in the year before your price raise and not someone who may have seen you once three years ago.
Doing this I have found means the twice a year guy and everyone else books a little more often as they feel they are getting a nice discount so its a win win situation. Happy clients and more bookings for you

[Panda Power]

It's like any business you charge as much as you can for the job, make as much as you can when you can, you're daft if you don't.

you have to vote with your wallet, If someone raises their rates and sees their business dry up, It should be obvious to them what to do...

But if earnings continue to be good keep prices up, I'm self employed and don't have the comfort zone of a salary so I take as much as I can for my products and services.

[jcdmj12]

It's not greed, it's just how business works.   If she has any sense, she'll slowly up her prices until the demand drops off, and then drop them a bit to find a 'sweet spot' of amount of work for amount of money.

I raise my prices as often as possible, because the more money I make, the more whoring I can do.  Of course, if I am working too many hours to make that money, I won't have the time or energy for whoring, so a balance has to be struck.  I'm sure our well-endowed friend is doing the same (the money I mean, I'd be surprised if she spends it whoring).

Absolutely correct.

Well i wouldnt return unless it was at the original rate she charged me, and i have had a few regulars try to charge me their new increased rate and i have not returned. Most regulars though havent passed any price rises on to me, smart business sense as i see it.

Indeed, fucking idiots of the highest order, and totally selfish with no thought of other punters.

[pierrot]

Not really doing it for me Rochdull.
They always think they are worth more than they actually get. Fact!

We all do.

I've never met anyone who said they were under worked and overpaid.

Are you employed by someone or self employed?

Complicated but both. It wasnt a complaint merely an observation,  naturally I  also think Im worth more.

We all do, it is natural, I'll do one job for someone at £50 profit, someone else I may get away with £500, fuck it, it puts food on the table and beer in the fridge

Why the increase Dani have your costs escalated so you need to pass this on

Have your costs not increased, my petrol bills, heating, food etc have all gone up, I need more to live on than I did two years ago?

When VAT went up to 20%, a girl put her prices up to cover this!! Like prossies pay VAT!!!

They shop, buy petrol, pay for heating, lights etc, VAT is payed by the user of services and products so of course it goes down the chain. Condoms, lube, clothes including underwear all attract VAT, yes prostutes pay VAT, so do lollipop ladies and directors of banks.

Ok. When VAT went up to 20%, did lollipop ladies wages rise to compensate?

[Pauluk1]

If the prossie was registered to pay VAT then she would be able to claim the VAT back from condoms, lube etc.
The vast majority aren't so are unable to claim it back.

I don't know if they did or not, they were definitely entitled to have them rise, whether they got that increase was down to their employers and them. Same with a prostitute, don't employ her if you think her charges are unreasonably priced. People can do that with me, however lots of people in my businesses think I do a good job so pay me, if they didn't think that they wouldn't. Self employment is great for the employer, no NI, no redundancy terms, notices, (unless agreed in advance). Why would I rather work self employed, like the best prostitutes I'm good at what I do and know I'm worth paying for it, so do my punters, (and it isn't me being a good shag)

[Toshiba]

Wouldnt pay more than £100 to shag any woman

Ever, so there

Well that's good for you, I don't think anyone is forcing you, I haven't noticed a law being announced that you must pay more than £100 to shag a woman, sorry if I missed it.

only if they are claiming to be an escort...

I know most don't do that and register as a hairdresser  or language tutor or something like that so cant really get away with claiming tax back on condoms, lube etc
