I was wondering what the average rate price for meeting guys off rentmen/massuer in NYC was?  It seems like on here I’ve seen some people say that $250-300 was too much. But then when I reach out to people in NYC, I’ve gotten $400-$700 an hour as a response for the rate. Just wondering. 

$250-300 is higher than most for a massage, but on the low end for an escort.

This new thread started today combined with two others on the subject in the last 12 months.

I think you merged a thread about NYC hotel rates with NYC escort rates

There were clearly Hotel price comments in the thread but they look like they had been tangents posted in the escort threads. Even so, there is a separate topic there to be discussed so I've split them out into a new Hotel Rates in NYC thread in the Travel Desk.

No idea if my post on this ended up in this thread, but my data on escort rates for 1-hour incalls in NYC indicates that the VAST majority of rates are in the $300-$400 range, with $350 as the median, $400 as the mode, and around $370 as the average.

It didn't end up here (until now), you posted it in a different thread:

I've done 500 a couple of times for 2 hours. But that’s outside NYC. In New York City nobody has hired for so long except for one guy (I charged him 550 for 2 hours). We didn't do anal. He was very nice and paid for my ubers. 

Do you think 500 is too little in NYC? My friend charges 700. I thought the point was to encourage people to hire you for longer. 

Some men apparently charge $1000, but they seem to be the exception.  Most are getting $300-400 as stated previously.

Last September, I paid $250-400 for 1 hour sessions with various escorts in NYC.  I only saw one escort for $400, which was a new personal high for me.  I would/will repeat with everyone I saw on my next trip to the Big Apple later this year.

I ask normally 1h 350 when the price of the hotels are normal. When in some weeks the hotels are very expensive I ask 1h 400.

I don't see it as "knowing their value." There are a lot of things that may be worth the value. That doesn't mean I can afford it. 

There may be a great house at a great value. But if I can't afford it, what's the difference.

But if someone sells me the house for the price I can afford, they lose out on the market value when the right buyer comes along.

Like they say in the Hotel business, an empty bed is lost revenue. A provider has to decide if they'd rather have the night off or accept a lower rate on some nights. Neither decision is wrong. Its just economics. Accepting 200 vs 300 on a slow night doesn't mean he isn't worth 300. It just means he isn't worth 300 to anyone that night.

Yes, it is not any different from accepting a less-than-desirable job offer while waiting for a better one tomorrow.  The same is applicable to anyone in any occupation.  This is the most basic economics concept of opportunity cost we learned in high school (or even younger than that).
