I'd also like to add that it is both sad and pathetic that new girls have to go through this 'hazing' of sorts from the broke asses who prey on their naïveté. Fucking pathetic. There should be some sort of introductory PM that goes out to these girls, warning them about the games these dipshits try to play. I'm just sayin.

Again, I asked her if she was running review specials (this was her first chance to tell me to go away), and she said she would knock $25 off. I told her that was out of my price range. We hung up. She could have left it alone, but SHE CALLED ME BACK and asked ME how much I had. I told her I didn't want to insult her and SHE said she was willing to work with me and that was why SHE CALLED ME BACK. I told her I had $50 (this was her second chance to laugh at me and tell me to pound sand). She said she could do 15 minutes for $50.

I have no dog in this fight but it just seems to me the OP is getting an undeservedly bad rap.

The guy is getting hammered on this thread because most people think that is a sorry way to go about hobbying. He has every right to do it, but he shouldn't be surprised if the women on the other end of the line are offended.
I did advise that $50 for a review was okay because I really needed reviews but after thinking about it I felt like a cheap whore donating my time for $50... I am new to eccie but not new to the hobby and felt harassed when he kept asking me. I have a child and have bills and I am a very good provider and I don't feel like $50 for 30 mins is worth my time. Originally Posted by Trinidadian GoddessGood for you!

It is nice to see the providers sticking up for each other. seeing you go to bat for each other is refreshing. Originally Posted by centex_mexIMHO, We need to see more of this from ALL Providers.
centex mex...get off your high horse and get a freakn' clue! You want us to feel bad for you because you didn't get your cheap POA...ok, poor you! I'll give you one thing...she handled the situation poorly...and as she learns from BAD CHOICES...hopefully, she'll learn to stay CLEAR of all the jerks of the community!After reading the entire thread this seems to pretty much sum up the whole story. It's one thing to pay a low rate and brag about it on here. But, to offer a review for a deep discount, try to blackamail someone and then complain when things don't go our way? DING, DING! We've hit an all-time low on eccie. Sure makes ya' proud to be an eccie member.
centex mex...YOU'RE the one who made a VERY BAD CHOICE...to be DISRESPECTFUL and thinking you could TAKE ADVANTAGE of a newbie provider...SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!
When a RESPECTABLE hobbyist...who doesn't SELL REVIEWS for a cheap POA...gets the run-around...that's when we understand FRUSTRATION for getting NCNS'd...and is ALERT WORTHY!
It's one thing to compromise on a REASONABLE offer...that's beneficial to BOTH parties; however, offering a review (which is done for FREE by MOST of the hobbyists) for a low donations is...just low class DUMB!
Premium access does not give you the right to demean ANYONE! And, until you put your butt on the line...and walk in our shoes for a few years...you have absolutely no right to say "who else makes this much money...BS," as it is very apparent...that you are CLUELESS! Originally Posted by Likinikki

You get what you pay for dude. You know who gets the royal treatment every time I see him? The guy who always tips a hundred bucks! Not the guy who haggles, and certainly not the guy who asks for something so ridiculously offensive. Originally Posted by Lily Blair
