Thanks for all the replies. Seems like most of us agree.
Although it is very helpful for a provider to clearly state their menu and rates, I do enjoy the occasional vague ad which virtually gives no info.

What I find really funny is when a provider either won't post a rate, or has different rates across sites/ads; then when you ask them about the rate they get really upset or on the defensive. How am I supposed to know what to bring if you don't tell me? You want me to get there, then have you tell me something in person and risk Mr leaving so you get nothing?!

Happened to me once. She had one rate on eccie and another on p411. I contacted her through eccie and took that amount with me. After the session I get a text saying I had shorted her. I pointed out the discrepancy and by the time I got home she had changed the eccie rate but she still insisted I owed her more. Now I try to pin down the rate in my first contact.

Thats where you screen shot her showcase before her session. That way you have proof even if she changes it after the fact.

I post rates within my ads. There are countless reasons however, a provider lists no rate. Her rates may fluctuate according to bills, discretion, etc. Back when rates were not allowed in ads, I noticed how it gave way to allowing me to alter rates based off screening/rapport.
High volumes of inquiries from interested gents ranging from low-ballers to The Generous Gent wanting to know your rates ( to be determined by the aforementioned rapport/screening/approach)flood your inbox.
This gives opportunity to negotiate when the house note is due instead of offering specials. But I must say, It became like sifting through an entire beachfront for a grain of gold. And my goal in all aspects, but especially in providing, is quality over quantity. Some ladies take and want it all sucking 5 dicks a day at $80-$100, while others like myself, prefer the few and far in between multi-hours every other couple of days. No method is "better" than the other, but I've learned over trial and error what works best for me and my lifestyle
Grrr...I hope I'm making sense - I know the ladies understand where I am coming from.

Reading the majority of the responses here, it's clear that most hobbiests prefer to have prices in the ad or on the showcase, where it's clear.
As to what some girls do for $80 vs. what other girls do for more (sometimes a LOT MORE), that's a whole other can of worms, and not one I intended to open here!
Thanks again for having the courage to share your experience and opinion here.
If a provider thinks it's better not to post rates, more power to her. But I will almost always pick a provider who is upfront and transparent about pricing. I don't wan to haggle over nickles and dimes for BCD time. If I think she's worth it, I'll pay. If not, I'll find another gal. I've never found that haggling results in a happier seller. I don't much care if the guy I buy a car from is pissed off or not. The gal who's about to fuck my brains out -- it makes a difference.
