Had a similar experience. Asked me to introduce myself briefly, so I did. He never asked for a deposit, stats, pic from me. In fact, as Lollll said, he doesn't do discounts as evidenced by my text messages. DM if you want a screenshot as proof. I explicitly asked him if he does discount and he said a big fat "NO". Those rates might "not be at all 'too much' based on today's averages thrown around here in the forum", but some people like me can't afford it, hence, asked for a discount tho he didn't give a discount. As in purplekow's words, everything is high in Denver lol
