I’m disgusted by the current prices and can’t understand people paying fortunes for, most of the time, limited experience. Even people cashing out 400/h are not always satisfied.
I have myself been fooled recently by an SP with her pimp. I will never punt again in London with this current insane price level.
I prefer to wait and save to go abroad later when things evolve.
Really a shame that it sounds that this logic is not dominant as, if it was, believe me SP and agencies would come back to more reasonable prices.
I look forward London SP beg for cash and bring their prices down.
Fellow punters, just stop to contribute to feed that silly market, take the power back
Don't be disgusted, just don't pay them silly money.
Asking price does not equal cost. Until one is dim enough to pay it, of course.
In which case you can only blame yourself.
Once their business dries up, their prices will come down.
Then there'll be a downward spiral in them trying to attract business from each other.
A crash, exactly what happens after there is a buyer fuelled boom in any market.
Remember, the buyer is always in control of where they spend their cash. It's easy to say no.
They need to make money more than you "need" to spend it.
By not paying silly prices, you bring the market back down.
And remember:
Once lockdown restrictions are lifted, competition will flood back into the market place.
At that point, supply exceeds demand, and they will be forced to either adapt, or have zero income.
It's that simple.
