I can never afford anything over $500 whatever time that allows me to have with a provider.
But these guys time are worth what they charge. If you can’t afford or don’t want to pay them that is one’s decision, but I think if a guy can charge $2000 a night - he definitely should. If another guy who is less in demand, he might charge $1,000 a night.
I can only afford 1-2 hours. Average rate.
