New Lower Escort pricing

[Lewis H]

So, I recently saw a couple of escorts posting lower prices for their services. One has since dropped his ad, but another is still on rentboy:

What do we think of this? Does the lower rate make you think twice? He's not a bad looking guy at all, but it makes me wonder why he's charging so much less. Does anyone else get the same feeling of, "I'm not getting my money's worth if they're not charging me the going rate" vibe?

The way I see it, you have a lot less to loose trying him now! Personally, I just won't hire a guy much over $200 but am always eager to find the next bargain!

[Guest ncm2169]

It could be the economy. There's another live thread here about that.

[ariadne1880]

Not bad-looking at all but definitely not in the "hot" category which may explain his rate.

I hired Sean Armstrong in Chicago ages ago and I paid $220 for the time. he now advertises in C L at $175.00 an hour, overnight is $1,000. I know someone who hired him for an overnight and he is simply speechless and breathless in describing the encounter --- unfortunately, he does not post here!

 

Of course I was hesitant, but the memory of my encounter with him before was so memorable, I decided to set up an appointment. he is still 26, so he is within my age preference! I do not judge the quality of an escort based on his set price ads...I almost always based it on performance as reviewed by many posters...and of course if they ring my bells!

 

Truth of the matter; Ricky Binx of Chicago was a complete bargain! Am I right Mark? So please guys, dont ruin the market by offering more than what these gorgeous boys quote! Tips are another matter of course!

 

P.S. Whatever their reasons for the low price quotes -- as an informed consumer, caveat emptor...caveat venditor..do your research! Right Marc?

I am sorry guys but I am shocked and disgusted that the words BARGAIN Shopping would even be placed in the same sentence as Gay Escorts.

These are Professional Men and "Boys" who I feel, need to be treated as any other Professional Job. http://www.rentboy.com has taken the Escorts off the streets and away from the bars and allowing them a Virtual Arena to promote themselves and http://www.boys2rentnow.com has Made it Affordable for Escorts to Advertise Online.

 

I feel that if you can Not respect an escort for who they are and the Profession they are in, enough to Pay them what their mind and Body is worth... Then you evidently deserve to walk the streets and find an urchin who will do it for a dollar.

 

I wait the day that Gay Male Escorts make the National average $300.00 an hour; so the Sugar Daddies who provide Bad experiences by asking for everything for nothing will be weeded out. Then Maybe this Profession will get some respect and these PROFESSIONAL Men can be treated and Live they way they deserve.

 

I Promise Boys, When I hire you…You will NEVER be asked to lower your price; all because I have not accomplished my personal goals in life and can not afford to spend for Luxury!

Maybe the intent of my post is not clear...maybe I am remiss in explaining my point in the thread , which to my understanding asks for opinions or comments about a pricing shift in "some" markets being served by male escorts.

 

First off, I do not bargain hunt! I hire escorts if i can afford them. I have never hired $300 an hour escorts --YET!. But maybe if the bells ring for me and my balls are swung right by the male escort...why not? I will save some of my Starbucks splurge money and muster enough money for an hour encounter! I call this scenario "ring my bells and swing my balls" the way no one has ever done!

 

As for some posters asking escorts to lower their pricing for one reason or the other. This country is ruled by free enterprise; sellers know their products and "their markets", I believe the final arbiter of price is a function of many thing: to cite some examples...the persuasive power of the client, the "availability" of the escort, the scene(s) requested and many more... Honestly, I do not find asking a good price for a good encounter is demeaning to the professional escorts! The realities we must accept are: some clients ask for discounts...some or maybe most dont! Some escorst hate clients asking for discounts and some don't or may do so from time to time!

 

Now, it is another matter if what was asked for was a "difficult scene; requiring expertise and special abilities" on the part of an escort...way below the different pricing mechanism for the same type of encounter in the various markets. I have seen neo-escorts ask for a minimum of $80 per hour of encounter (not even in some cases) to a stratospheric $1,000 an hour of "luxury celebrity" encounter. I am sure there are exceptions to this prices. i am open to be educated! just specify for an hour or hours! "

 

I personally have not asked an escort to lower the asking price that they advertise -- I responded that a certain very well established, excellent escort had a higher price many years ago when he was the Twink flavor of the day in this forum; but is now posting at a lesser price.I asked him about it. " His response was based on having graduated recently with a college degree from a well known university! I want to be competetive and hit my business goals daily-- which is to book an encounter at least once a day!" Smart business strategy don't you think? it took me 4 weeks to even book him!

 

As for the Neo-escort Ricky Binx of Chicago...my casual comment...maybe a caveat was "Please do not ruin the market"...i did mention his prices are bloomies-once in a lifetime-sale-prices! yes even bloomingdales lower their prices!

 

Ricky Binx has a target niche in Chicago, and I do hope this market will have a chance at companionship and attention, the way Ricky Binx gives them at a prices they can afford. of course economic s dictates that soon Ricky Binx will explore the markets...maybe start travelling...maybe learn new things...maybe rethink his marketability -- the final arbiter on his new prices is him of course! But then again: supply creates its own demand!

 

I am very happy that you as a client are able to afford what you afford...i am very glad you are able to tell the forum -- you are not a bargain hunter! of course, if one day you find a neo escort whose prices are low ...maybe a TIP would give him more recognition that telling him his prices are too low, you want to believe something is wrong with him or his service!

 

If you want to mentor these escorts who agree on being flexible on their pricing to stand pat on their prices. Why...thats not a bad idea. just make sure their prices are competetive...their product is distinct...their physical attributes etc can support what you suggest should be their asking price. Escorting is a business (service industry) and as such is governed by the market...pricing strategies and research just to name a few! A Chinese business market strategist once said, " It is the Chinese' way to sell a lot of its products at the lowest possible profit, assuring it of a sizeable volume to sustain growth and economic development for its commerce and industries. And indeed...the strategy is paying off!

 

I did not take offense on the response posted-- none was taken since i do not belive it was pointed at my direction. My response to this post is not a rebuttal; it is a clarification!

 

P.S.

 

I liken the male professional escorts to Hollywood stars! Their asking price vary by projects! Many of the million dollar stars started with debt-starved rates and some Hollywood seasoned actors (depends on who) may accept less than $1m in their current projects. maybe it is their love of their craft!

 

What do you say Mark?

[ariadne1880]

This "David" is a real pain in the ass. Nice to know that there is someone rich enough to pay whatever he feels like paying but don't ruin it for the rest of us, asswipe.

 

Escorts should be paid what the market demands but the prices shouldn't be driven up by a couple of assholes who want to pay more.

 

Why don't you shove that big ugly dick up your ass so that your brain will finally be given a rest and you can shut the fuck up?

 

Mark

[david000]

Now didn't you JUST post this statement Mark?

 

"This is a place for opinions; calling someone names because you don't like their opinion is about as juvenile and immature as it gets. That's the "attitude" that I don't like. Mark"

 

 

Anyway....

It is Not my fault Mark that you have Champaign taste with Beer pockets. I hope all the Champaign escorts read this forum and do Not allow You to dilute them into a cheap dry bottle of “Brutt”. Maybe the street is where you need to find your escorts my friend and not the internet.

Leave the professionals for the PROFESSIONALS.

 

But, Good luck in your adventures

Another shining example of the civility we've come to expect from ANDERSON COOPER'S COUSIN. All in one post we get him calling a fellow poster

 

- a real pain in the ass

- asswipe

- asshole

 

and telling him to

 

- shove that big ugly dick up your ass

- shut the fuck up

 

What a class act we have in this little upstart - his abuse is never-ending, yet he has the audacity to call others juvenile if he finds their words offensive.

[excelntsvc]

let's see ... yes the economy is causing price adjustments and this is a good thing ... market forces require adjustments and rates of $300 and $350 are simply outta line.

and now perhaps david can use some of his savings to learn how to spell the name of his favorite sparking beverage

[lucky13000]

""learn how to spell the name of his favorite sparking beverage""

 

 

I thought he might be referring to his personal ability to afford the creme de la creme guys working the Champaign, IL market.

*Sigh* Trying to stay on topic here so here is my view from an escort. I see absolutely nothing wrong with his rate. From the few profiles I've seen from NY the prices are absolutely mad crazy! Course as the old saying here goes if they can make a living off those rates more power to them. Everything from rent, buying a living space, to parking is quite high in NY from what I've seen online and been told by those who live or lived there and bargains are greatly sought and appreciated. I use the word bargain cause from the price posted on Rentboy that is what it is compared to what many others are charging in NY. I'd bet my 401K that while others are lowering their rates on slow days this young lad who might I add is freaking hot is probably booked solid. I could see him charging more then his $150 but why ruin a good thing especially if it is already putting a roof over his head, clothes on his back and food in his belly? Also maybe for his lifestyle his fee more then covers what he needs. Remember not all of us must have the fancy Gucci wallet, Prada shoes or Armani suits. Some of us have simpler tastes.

I'm sorry but what is "Champaign?" Do you mean Champaign, IL? How does one "drink" a town?

 

What is "brutt?" I looked that one up and couldn't find it in the dictionary.

If you are going to insult me you are going to be treated in kind. Remember the line ... "if he comes at you with a knife, go at him with a gun?"

 

I live by that principle. I won't be the first to take a shot but I will finish it off.

 

Hey zipper -- seems like you've got that small dick of yours stuck in your zipper -- lighten up.

Most "Working Guys" I know have Rates depending on what they feel Comfortable doing and FOR HOW LONG! God Bless Viagra!

 

Does it make sense to "Work It" with 2 clients a day at $250 an hour for $500 as opposed to 1 Client for $400 for 2 hours? Depends on the Working Guy and "what he has to do" in that Time Period.

 

Alot of Working Guys knowing they won't have to "Shoot" go for the $500 OR BETTER with the Get'em Off and Get'em Out Work Theory!

 

You would be amazed as to how well some W/G'S CAN SKED Reg's according to their Likes! It can be a Juggling ACT for sure! BUT HELL IS IT PROFITABLE BABY!

 

I know a Guy who can and does RELOAD every Hour! He as they say..

For you to say you won't be the first to take a shot is laughable in the extreme. You usually ARE the one to take the first shot and it is usually not just a shot....... it is a shot using vulgarity and casting aspirtions about the poster.

 

You have demonstrated time and time again that you are incapable of disagreeing with others in a civilized manner yet you presumably expect to be taken seriously. You're nothing more than a joke - and a not very funny one at that.

 

This is my last reply to any of your posts. Sinking to your level leaves a distinctly bad taste in one's mouth.

 

For what it's worth, try and resurrect yourself from the gutter and brush the ca-ca off you face - it's not very appealing. I have it on good authority that ANDERSON COOPER YOUR COUSIN, (in case you forgot your previous lies) thinks you are a disgrace to his family.

A good strategy. Ignore him and maybe he'll take a long, long sabbatical (with a full supply of Brillo, of course).

The economy says it all. A beggar lady I know told me she lost about 40 clients who lost their jobs because of the economy. She asked me to pass the word around she needs "donations."

[Bart]

Well a recent posting in the travel section indicates a major issue for escorts traveling here. They are raising their rates to match the Euro and I am not sure it is going to work. It is far easier to travel to Europe and charge your current fee in Euros or even a bit less to stay busy, pay the higher cost of staying there and come back with money in your pocket.

 

Hopefully Mr. Adler can comment on that upon his return from England. I would think it would be tough for European escorts coming here for sometime. Although their money will accomodate better rooms, I do not think they will be able to stay as busy as usual. If so I would think that will take dollars away from escorts living there.

 

This is really an economic reality, nothing to do with what we think of escorts or not. If they can get the money they will charge what the market will let them or they starve.

Where does one go to meet "beggar ladies?"

I am cautious about lower rates on escorts but I have to say that in the Chicago area where I live escorts have begun dropping their rates perhaps 4-6 months ago and many times by as much as 30-50%. Same thing in San Francisco and L.A. cities where I often travel. I think basically its the economy and the tremendous competition out there now from young and often-times great looking young college guys advertising on craigslist who are out there undercutting everyone. What I have found now over an extended period of time is that price does not equate to quality here in any way, shape or form anymore. It may have at one point in time but no longer with the advent of craigslist.

Is there any truth to the rumor that when they realize it's you they are dealing with, they levy a surcharge?

[Guest pj4florida]

I have found in every city they are dropping and have found a huge drop to a rate of $150/hr is becomeing almost everywhere from some of the nicest and hottest guys. While I still see some of the tried and true guys but I am not appose to a good rate to meet someone new. Like in Tampa St Pete area I seen this new guy Patrick and he was awesome and $150 hr

 

He has a review in MER and lived more than up to the best I have been with. There is also someone I have seen in DC here in Tampa that charges there at $220/hr that is $100/hr here for 10 days, there is also another guy ZACK washington DC here also at $100 hr visiting. I don't know him
