I was trying to barter a brand new genuine designer name item and I couldn't find any takers.I'm not going to do what others have tried to tell you in the previous posts. I'd have more luck talking to my stapler.
Providers' logic: they don't see $200-$300 cold hard cash in their hand, they think you are ripping them off.
They don't think in term of this way:
okay, I charge $250 (average) for a 1 hour session.
1 1/2 hours is $325.
This guy wants to give me a brand new genuine designer name item purchased less than 2 weeks ago at the Galleria,
with photos of the receipt, the price tag and the item itself to prove it does exists,
and the price of it with tax is equivalent to what I charge for a 1 1/2 hour session but he only wants 1 hour
and he is not even asking me to include upsell items in the 1 hour session like Greek, farm animals, handcuffs, sex toys, kitchenware, messy food sex, or whips and chain.
So I will definitely come out ahead.
By the time I go to the store and buy the same item myself including paying sales tax at the Galleria;
and figure in the time I would had spent to go there and back which can be spent on earning a paid 1 hour session with a customer, gasoline consumption, wear and tear on my car, etc, etc:
I will have paid more than the face value of the item I am receiving in exchange for a 1 hour session.
It's like when you have a 1 hour session with a Provider that charges $300 per hour and you give $500 to her landlord in the form of a money order to pay her rent, she thinks you just ripped her off on her session fee. Originally Posted by CG2014

This thread is cracking me up.
Let me run right down to my leasing office and see if they'll accept a $2k handbag in place of my $1k rent.
What do you think they'll say?
Dude, if I'm gonna drop $500 on a handbag it'll be one that I've lusted over for at least six months. Not some random that someone is trying to barter.

They are Providers. Don't use any other words to refer to them.
The item has value: what I paid for.
I thought this would be easier than making a trip back to Galleria, fight traffic on the way there and back in the Summer heat, look for a parking space, fight the crowds in the mall, wait in line at the store, go through their return process to get a refund (which will be in the form of a check from Corporate even when I paid cash) and also possibly risk getting robbed walking around with a big bag with a designer name written on the side of it.

And according to the SC forum you're also "that guy" at the SC?
Hmmm.......... are there really two of you? Originally Posted by THN

What the fuck is the OP thinking with this thread?What do you care if I paid in cash. So according to your warped logic if you buy something with cash instead of with a credit card it automatically means you are at a flea market? Totally illogical! Some of us deal in cash because it's easier and we don't have to worry about debt later. It's also financially smarter unlike some folks who put everything on credit cards and then at the beginning of each month they are hit with a large credit card statement, several of them, and they can't pay off the balance and they spent the rest of their lives just paying the minimum payment and incurring interest on it each month.
So many questions, yet so little answers. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
