Ooh-- hang on a sec....
Now-- I can offer a little bit of insight up to a certain price point when it comes to pricing differentials when ladies raise their rates.
Lets say SusieQ gets into the business and starts off charging $250. She doesn't have much of a wardrobe. New to the business. May not know much about TCB, how to run a business, how to dress. Social graces, etc.
Over time-- she works on how to properly run her business. Gets herself a solid wardrobe. Takes better care of her diet... her fitness. Improves her incall location. Improves her overall look and appearance. Improves her marketing, her pictures-- spends more on advertising. To me-- that's certainly worth the increase in rates...
Its not simply about the level of BCD service. There is only so much improvement overall that can be had in that area. Sure-- things can improve.. but only so much. And honestly-- with WEC's focus being solely on this area-- it also explains why he feels as he does about what he spends (and no, that isn't a dig on you- as I've said many times, every man hobbies for different reasons).
Many of the gentlemen who spend at the higher level are spending for the experience. They want the luxury experience-- the higher end incall. The impeccably dressed woman with high end clothing, lingerie, well manicured and groomed. Some of those same gents are the same ones who would drive to Nevada to drop 5 figures on an evening with Air Force Amy-- who is well into her late 50's-- just to be able to say they've done it. For some-- its just to be able to say they've had the experience. Its not about whether or not they could have had just as good a time for far less-- its about having THAT particular experience with THAT particular lady. Its what makes that particular guy tick.

Yet, I will bet that many of the providers do not upgrade their hotel rooms or get the more expensive lingerie and they are still charging those higher donation prices.
Higher prices rarely equal better service, all it does is give more regret to the hobbyist when the provider gives the same BCD service if not worse when you factor in the widely accepted YMMV card, when she charged half the rate for the same service/time frame.
While it is true that when you are talking about a famous porn star or the like, sure, guys will pay higher donation prices due to the name recognition and all for the bragging rights to say he has been with a real porn star, if that is his thing and fantasy. However, what we are talking about in this thread is providers who just start out in the business, ones who has been in it for a bit and last but certainly not least, fat, out of shape providers wanting $400-500+ for an hour.
