It's only an extra £10!

[karmapoliceman]

I saw a local working girl a month or two back -
External Link/Members Only
She was great, and I thought - that's it, search over!  I'm far from a regular punter, but so long as she's in business that'll do for me.
Then came a price hike - only an extra tenner for the half hour - bit more of a hike for the hour, since which I find myself irrationally looking elsewhere!  I mean, it's not like I'd miss the extra £10, but it just seems expensive now in a totally disproportionate way.  I'd put this down to me being weird, but then noticed that said girl had not had a single AW review since the price increase and started wondering if I'm not so alone in feeling the way I do as I'd imagined?
And before anyone says "post a review", well fair cop I suppose, except that I always think - why post something that adds nothing to the prevailing wisdom?  Lola has several reviews on here all positive and I've nothing to say that hasn't already been said.

[watsey]

I'm in agreement.
I have set myself a ceiling of £100 for a one hour session and it's been so for a good few years. I had accepted that I would pay Lola £110 because I thought she would be worth it based upon her reviews.
I have made 4 enquiries for a booking.
So far.....
1. No reply.
2. Accepted but later cancelled.
3. Acknowledged but not available.
4. No reply.

Now a price hike so I won't be going.

[PUNTY43]

The 2 main things that really piss me off are price hikes and paying for extras. It might only be a tenner and like the OP said you might think well it's not that much but everyones got a limit. And looking at it from the prossies side why risk losing punters for the sake of a measly tenner. Okay so I've never seen this one but shes got good reviews and is probably making a ton of money but still put her price up and charges extras. 

[Madone1]

It seems with this girl as the price has gone up the likes list has gone down I’m sure she was offering anal at 90 an hour when she first appeared with her old profile name. And now claims her bum is a total no go area.

[suttonporksword]

not a bad payrise for her though of 12.5% I am sure we will all be getting that in our pay packets......

[george r]

her arse looks fantastic   

maybe the extra tenner is to make up for her benefits is she is down moneywise now universal credit is rolling out..

You might have to reconsider booking her,  as her hourly rate is £130

[Madone1]

She wants an extra 10 quid on top of the basic rate if you want to blow your load on her face too. The extras for every little service is why I always hate parlour punts.

As posted above.
I have reconsidered and won't be going.   

[temptation]

At the end of the day I see it as end result Cumming. That's why i stick to 15 min meets for sex or 30 min massage meets when I want some attention.

[mmarcus]

I’ve seen Lola a few times myself and left a positive review but I had the same thoughts as you guys. I was passing through on business recently and checked out her profile and noticed the extra £10. Although I haven’t had a bad experience with her and in all fairness she’s probably well worth the extra £10 I couldn’t bring myself to pay it! I’m sure she still delivers the same excellent service but for me she’s a little too expensive now, shame...

[watsey]

A 1 hour appointment is up by £20

Given that Lola was exactly the kind of girl I would want to see - affectionate, kind, sensual etc, then as someone who knows her service, who would you say compares as a more reasonably priced alternative? I'd been thinking of Octavia Blake, but bugger me if she's not hiked her prices too!

Good question . My kind of girl too so I'm watching closely.
Annoyingly her biggest competition seems to be hottelfordminx who is at a ludicrous £150 per hour.
I would see her too if her prices were sensible.
Generally sticking to FBSM these days. Better value for money.

[PUNTY43]

A quick search on AW has 215 escorts at £100ph in Birmingham alone. Try looking there.

My next foray I think, assuming she'll see me!
Might be a while away though. Will post a review if I do get it together to visit.

Agree but Birmingham is not an easy place for a lot of us to get to. Cost of travel and parking might as well pay more  for somebody local.

Ah yes. The goth girl mentioned on another thread. Probably not my cup of tea but a review would be good.

[just_me]

Since the price hike seems to be difficult to get booking as well, same as others have mentioned.... 4 attempts to book, 1 saying was ill so couldnt, 1 asking time etc and few messages back and forth and when finally got a time got a message saying sorry but wont be back in time now and 2 other attempts not even acknowledged... must be the only person to put prices up while decreasing there service levels 

[workinallweek]

I too have a price point i wont go above but i did explain this to a girl that was out of my price range she agreed to meet up and i have seen her a few times since ,maybe you need to talk to her ,especially if you have seen her before .

the other thing being is £10 better than the risk of a shite punt ?

Yes, that's a very good point, and really was at the heart of my original post - logically it's a no brainer - an extra £10 not being the end of the world, but seemingly having a disproportionately negative effect. I was wondering if I was alone in feeling that way and it would seem not.
As to speaking to her, it would be a good idea in the context of any other paid for service, but the very suggestion of such a discussion seems to provoke outrage in this sector.

[Mariooooo]

what I would do if I was the original OP is book a time and when you get  there , pay her what you normally pay and act like you don't know she's put her rates up. for the sake of a tenner, she probably won't be bothered to argue the toss.
I visited a WG a couple of years back and I always paid her £60 for a half hour thinking that was her rate. then I realized it was £80. To be honest I was mortified and asked her why she never said anything and she didn't really say a lot. she wasn't shitty or anything , she was great about it. anyway , that time because of guilt I gave her the £80 plus £20 as an apology, but she wouldn't have been bothered either way.

You are right and I agree with all you say. An extra £10 is not the end of the world but if you have set yourself a limit (like me) then it goes against the grain to exceed it. In my case I prefer a 1 hour meet so her price has gone up £20. For her £130 per hour  I can have 2 hours of FBSM and still have change. Not the same service I agree although at some locations it isn't far off.

Brilliant idea. Except I confirm prices in comms before the booking. Nice try though 

[Sexy_Lola_X]

Sincere apologies to those that have tried to book unsuccessfully. I agree, it's not been good to get me of late. And as much as I'd like to explain, a public forum isn't really the place. I can say that I've had illness and a bad run of  luck personally, which has affected my availability. Unfortunately, it's been out of my control.

The price increase was put in place for a few reasons (I won't go in to them here) and I'm sorry if this now means I'm out of your budget. I do really enjoy what I do though, and this is reflected in the service I provide. I'm sure you've read the reviews.

In response to the discussion mentioned above, if you have already met me, I'm pretty sure you'll know that I'm approachable. Just make contact with me on AW 

Anyway, sorry for hijacking your thread. Just wanted you all to know that I'm happy to chat on AW if you have any qualms.

Kisses. Lola x

If this isn't the place to explain the rise in price were is ?

[Sexy_Lola_X]

If this isn't the place to explain the rise in price were is ?

In all fairness, I really shouldn't have to explain why, much the same as service providers in any other sector. If my local garage put the price of a service up by a tenner, I'd either pay it or look for another garage. I doubt I'd question a price increase tbh.

I will however explain that I deliberately put my prices lower than other local girls when I was new to the scene, as many other girls do. It's remained the same for well over 12 months. Other reasons will remain off public forums. I did give notice of the increase on my profile (several weeks) and I'm still less than others locally.

I do understand the budget thing and I'm sorry I'm now out of budget for some. Its certainly not because I'm greedy, or because I'm short in the universal credit that I don't actually claim.

I appreciate this may not even answer your question. But I'm not going in to more detail than this here.

Thanks for your responses Lola.
I think its is always good when people step forward with rationale and we should accept that not everything is for a public forum
Hope your are better soon.

My original post was exploring the price sensitivity of this particular 'marketplace' using my own experience as an example. It was no part of my intention to drag you, Lola onto open forum to defend decisions which are yours to make.

Fair enough. Thanks for being understanding. xx

As a footnote: my feedback and ratings do not reflect actual meets, as I'm sure you'll appreciate. They're always viewed as a very fickle way of judging a person/service, hence the reason why UKP even exists.

I can only speak for myself , but I think it’s very refreshing for you to come and put your point of view.
Hope things get better for you.xxx

I've never charged £90/hour. Not even under my old profile. A-levels were always at discretion and now, as you rightly quote, I don't offer that service. Again, valid reasons that I won't discuss here.
I used to also offer rimming but now don't.
I used to include facials, but now they're extra.
I believe in offering a service I enjoy. No one wants to leave a punt knowing that the WG wasn't having fun also, right? I enjoy tie and Tease and edging above all else. Not much better than spending time teasing and denying orgasms, in my mind. Maybe this is the reason so many punts are underwhelming? Get the right girl offering the right service and it can be mind-blowing. I just know what I enjoy and focus on that. I don't see much wrong with that.

Very true and Lola shouldn’t take this personally at all.
Fairplay for posting a response!

I’m sure every wg like you has their reasons for a change in price and that’s their business. I guess us gents (& ladies to be PC) as punters have our own price ceilings and ultimately we are after VFM. As I said in my op based on the experiences I have meeting you, you are worth the additional funds but whenever there is a price change there is always an element of ‘disappointment’. Suppose that’s just the way most of us are wired.

Providing you maintain the excellent level service you provide, I’m sure people (including myself) will continue to make bookings after the initial ‘shock’ as we know we are almost guaranteed a great time in times where punting in certain areas is pretty dire.
Having a good stream of positive reports and feedback on AW and UKP helps and aides punters when making their punting choices and spending their hard earned cash. I guess this stresses the importance of posting reports / feedback and contributing to the forum.

Best of luck to you Lola

Is this the new ryanair approach to punting, additional charges for everything. Surprised some are not selling raffle tickets
