If people stay with that we can keep the price down. Don't let the little head get in the way

I have seen ads on BP and elsewhere in which girls will make the statement "No bargaining" or "Good service isn't cheap and cheap service isn't good." (That's my favorite) or when they say "true courtisan". All of these are ways to take the same service and charge more for it. None of you guys are fooled by that creative wording in ads anymore than I am. Its just a way to up sell the same level of service at $50 - $100 more. They are entitled to "try" to up sell and we although they do not like it - we are entitled to "buy down" as well. They don't realize that their business is no different from any other. The service is only worth what the market will bare. They can easily price themselves out of business just like any other industry. Back in the 1950's an upscale escort went for $50 for an overnight. Why? Because that is all the market would bare (pay). I have an old steel token from a Nevada brothel that came from the late 1800's. It was the kind of token you would give a friend as a gift and it entitled the holder to "1 free piece of tail". The numismatic value was $5. To put a cap on this response I knew a girl in Ohio that was in the business. She was smart enough to understand all of this. She adjusted her rates for the month according to published economic indicators. When the economy was spiking up - her fees went up a bit. When they dipped down, so did her prices. She said other girls in the area were getting calls for service maybe 3 times a week. She was getting called 3 times a day. her rates were maybe $20 - $40 lower on average, but she was smart enough to never charge more than the others, ever. She was making tons more than anyone else. She understood economics. And she had a pretty good head for business. Nobody ever tried to bargain with her. They just paid it. And no, she was not cheap. I know some girls are going to see this and say, "I would never do that. My rates are what I am worth." Again, as long as the money is still in the customer's pocket - they are the one that determines what the service is worth. At the end of the week does the girl want to be the one who deposits a few thousand in her ban account of the one who was so proud of her higher price for services that she only deposited half as much....or even less? Again, it's all business. Girls who realize that and run it as such do really well. Those who don't will always resent the ones who do. Let's use as an example JJ's Spa (May it rest in peace.). Back about 3 years ago, when it was in it's prime. You could literally find Playboy model class 25 year olds in there, walk in without an appointment and get exactly what you want for $200 even. Those girls (at the time) were every bit as skilled and way hotter than a few girls who call themselves "upscale escorts" and "courtisans" on the escort sites and charge 3 times that price for a single hour but maybe get calls 2 or 3 times a week. These girls went for $200 and there was practically a line outside the door. They were actually banking way more than the lesser attractive and older girls who sell as escorts and courtisans even though their fees were lower. Again, the customer had the money and therefore made the decisions as to who was really worth paying the money for. Like it or not, the customer is king as long as the money is still in his pocket. Like it or not - it's just a fact.
