Double or nothing

[+ purplekow]

I contacted an escort today to come to my home in the suburbs from NYC. It is about a one hour train ride. He agreed to come for double his usual rate for a 2 hour session or about $1320 which is double his two hour out call rate. He already has an outcall rate $30 per greater than his in rate. I declined. i realize that escorts in NYC, especially the hire end ones, (i know it is higher no need to correct) can be a bit selective, but do others believe this is excessive or should I just put up or shut up?

Clearly, he either did not want to do the gig or figured if you want to pay him big bucks, he'd do it.

sorry it didn't work out, pk....he obviously was including the two-hour RT travel time as part of his regular rate....if he's a busy guy, he can be selective and demanding.....other escorts would charge a more moderate travel fee, but $330/hour to sit on the train does seem excessive (you were also going to throw in the train fare, weren't you??!!!)

It could be a premium for taking the risk that he will travel 2 hours (1 there and 1 back) and be stood up.

 

While I would consider it excessive, that depends on how much you wanted it and what you were willing to pay to get it. You really can't fault him for not wanting to travel that far in general. It seems to me that for that kind of money, you might have been able to compromise on an overnight appointment.

Manhattanites tend to be pretty provincial, and it takes a lot to get them out of the city and into the suburbs.

 

Also, travel introduces extra risk if the client is a no show. If a far away client gives him a fake address or isn't home, he loses the travel time as well.

 

Of course, we on this board know you're a good client, but he doesn't.

Deposits would solve all of that...paypal is free to sign up.

You could always skirt the problem and go see him.

Drove 7 hours yesterday and paid for a hotel for a no show so I am more in the coming to me mode

I think that's the crux of the issue: both parties risk being stood up. At least if a client finds himself in NYC, there are other options. Less so for the escort in the outskirts.

Well look at this, the chances of a premium escort traveling a hour out and back for only 2 hours.. Chances of a cancelation is high for you if your only paying his 2 hour fee. If he is premium, he is getting a lot of business and he can make more staying near his location.. He is risking a lot.. Unless you pay his asked price, you can guarantee no funny business.

 

 

This is a interesting subject, There comes a point in what really is a premium escort.. Caring about a connection first or caring about business first. I'd keep searching purple, and good luck!

It is what it is. The decision is yours and yours alone. If you think that the guy would provide a fantastic experience and you feel it is worth it to shell out his fee, then go for it. If it were me, and I had the money to spend and REALLY wanted to see the guy I'd do it. Unfortunately, I'm not wealthy enough that $1320 for two hours would not give me pause.

[Guest Starbuck]

I was talking the other day to a friend from the forum who lives about four hours from the location of any well-regarded, well-reviewed escorts and it made me grateful to be -- like you PK -- on the outskirts of NYC (a little farther out than you) and not much farther than that from Boston. As Kevin Slater suggested, at least we have a lot of options relatively close at hand. And with that in mind, I agree with your instinct that $1320 is WAY TOO MUCH to spend for a TWO-HOUR appointment. If I won the lottery, I still wouldn't do it. Apparently the financial sensibilities of my thrifty parents haven't entirely left me.

[Michael Wayne]

You could fly me in for an overnight for that amount of money. Same could be said for numerous other top guys...many younger and hotter than me who appreciate and value new clients. http://www.rentboy.com/magicmikey ps.....i get alot of new yorkers who simply will NOT pay the high nyc rates. they would rather fly someone in or actually come to florida for a couple days and do three sessions with me for what one would cost in the city.

If Purple's location is truly just an hour out of NYC, and assuming accessible via LIRR or Metro-North rail, then he may choose the option of booking a moderately priced hotel in the center of the city, etc. Of course, there may be reasons specific to him or his lifestyle that such a scenario is not possible.

I have done this in the past. But there are no moderately priced hotels anymore and with my three dogs, overnights in the city present another care problem which can get expensive. I have had many guys come down here, most with little or no extra charge. This is the first time anyone has ever asked for double and while he is certainly within his buisness sense to ask for what the market will bear, this seemed excessive to me and was curious how others felt. As usual, a mixed bag of opinions.

Yeah purple, even though I can see his thinking.. You can most likely find the same quality for less demand in travel fee.

An hour out of manhattan is not really that far. It's daunting but not something out of the ordinary. I see a lot of guys who come into nyc who live in queens or staten island and it takes at least 30-45 minutes. So an hour is not that much more.

 

Perhaps he really didn't want to make the trek. How about ordering car service for him? I think car service would be much more comfortable and direct. It would alleviate the issue of hoofing it to Penn Station or Grand Central and/or the hassle of purchasing tickets. That way, he will have a comfortable smooth ride to your place and ready to play.

I hear ya... Good news is that you've had good experiences in the past in this regard, so it seems logical to move on from him. Hope you find the right guy, particularly if you are looking for a 'fresh face.'

You know I like the car service idea. I never did try to negotiate with him as he was direct, it was double no questions asked.

Unless the escort is getting money up front, it makes no difference what fee he asks for if he’s sent to a fake address. Whether he asks for $1,320 or $13,200, he’s going to get $0.

What fee or range of fee were you expecting?

I think this is the way to go - especially if you can find your way into New York and then ride back to your place with your escort. I'm thinking kind of like the Bait Bus porno scenario where you and your guy could play in the back while somebody else drives. You could have an extra hour of "get-acquainted-time" while you're being driven to your place, disembark when you reach home, play for your two hour appointment, and then, assuming you'r still kind of horny, you could play for the duration of the ride back to New York - that's four hours of play for the same amount of money. True, you have to get yourself to NYC and back home again but at least you're not paying for two hours of travel time with nothing to show for it.

I am kind of thinking that the escort might be expecting to be paid for his time especially if there is playing in the car but it is an interesting possibility.
