I remember when I first got into this hobby about 9 years ago back in Toronto. For the most part, the providers were charging about $140-$210 for the hour. At the time I thought $200 was alot. Over the years I've seen prices go up in some places. Just 2 years ago when I was in Vancouver most of the providers were charging under $260. Now look at almost every ad on here. Most of them are charging $$$! When does it stop? There are ladies on erslist, backpage, etc that charge less but some of those are bait and switch. With providers charging more and more as time goes by, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find good providers at a reasonable price. Victoria's cheaper but the options are limited. Thoughts, opinions, comments?

LOL gas used to be 50 cents a liter too and a chocolate bar was like 60 cents. Even ass is subject to inflation :) Go east the price drops some come west the price jumps up. I will pay $300 if the service is there but the ones that are basically human blow up dolls or have more restrictions then some amish chick they need to go find something else to do. Nothing you can do but try to be more picky and come to places like this to find girls with value for the price and avoid the ones that are a waste of time and effort.

I think the flood of cheap sex offered by foreigners in micros, the cheap sex at AMP's, as well as part-time domestic girls who now have easier access than ever to the numerous sex ad boards has created kind of a sex ghetto that is like an industry sweat shop of sex providers doing a low paid job with little to distinguish one provider from another. This in turn has created a vacuum for higher quality providers who can charge more. The lower providers seem to have settled at a going rate of about $160 - $180 or less. This seems to be the mark that a lower class provider can't go above, so the higher quality providers go up from there. A higher quality provider typically distinguishes herself using her individuality as a person, unlike the lower class provider who distinguishes herself mainly by her service and not so much as an individual from which the client would make a more personal connection. For this reason, higher class providers who, through their marketing efforts, fail to distinguish themselves from each other are stuck charging a competitive amount but in that higher bracket - of say $200 - $260, but can't go above that. These are the girls who make websites with generic "erotic" photos of themselves, usually with their faces hidden, with image content that is too studio and not genuine, and with textual content that could easily have been borrowed off another provider's site. Those girls who distinguish themselves using their individuality to create a unique persona are the ones who are able to charge a much higher amount, usually in the $300+ range.

It is about value in my eyes. I come back for value for my dollar. It is not just lower cost. I laugh at some SP who try to rip me off once but they lose out big time. What is a one time client worth? $180 never to see him again and even bad reviews. Or a good provider can keep a client for years at 250 a wk or even a 1000 a month with a client. Which is better for the SP. I would think that a good client is worth much more than a one time hit.

I would be interested to know how SPs view it? Do they perfer the one time hit or the long term relations with a client. What is the relationship between new vs regular clients for SPs. I guess all are different. How much value does a SP place on regulars?

There's tons of great pussy under $200, hell one of the best reviewed SPs in Surrey only charges $140. Draw the line in the sand with what you're comfortable paying and stick with it.

jblurps, Is rent the same as it was 9 years ago? Nope. Is it currently even the same as out east? Nope. Plus, you can find lower priced SPs very easily. However, they're generally going to be seeing more clients a day, whereas girls charging 250, 300+ will only see one, or a few at most. On average, service should be better the more you pay, like every single business on earth. Yes, that's not always the case, you'll find great SPs for less and horrible SPs for more, but based on most reviews here in general the more you pay the more you get.

When you're paying 250/ 300, the woman spends a lot of time before each session getting ready (showering, doing makeup, taking outfit requests, lighting candles, setting the mood, making sure the incall's spick and span). Plus, girls in the price range are expected to have manicures, pedicure, perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect everything. If you're having a bad day or are sick many girls will take it off because they value service, and don't want to give anyone a bad session, you likely won't get that from a lower priced SP.

Now I'm not bashing lower priced SPs at all, because everyone should be free to charge what they please, but there is a reason girls charge what they charge. And the beauty of a city like Vancouver is that there is a big range, and men with all sorts of budgets can find what they're looking for. So like many have said, if you don't want to pay 250/300: DON'T.

Yea but you're missing a point. Let me ask you something, Did you pay go up 25% in the last 2 years?

Actually Lets look at the opportunity costs:

Bottle of Wine (or present) $25-$30, Cost of an SP for an hour $300- $350 (incall), cost of a box of Condoms $15 Parking $5.
So for about $400 you're getting fucked and fucked well.

Or you go on Hot wire Get a hotel for $100-$150 (4 star/ 5 star nothing cheap ass). Call up a service and have them send over a lady $250-$350 and up or call up an independent about the Same $350+ and up on outcall. Bottle of Wine $25.$30. You're now in the $500-$600 range.

Go to a Micro, look over CL/ Eros for a cheap provider. A car date with a street walker. You can get laid for $200 easy but remember the risks that are there are even higher than seeing an Idependent for $100-$150 more.


Or you can join a dating website $40. Meet someone go on a date $20 coffee /$20 Movie/ ($40 snack bar crap.) $25 gas. Or maybe you go to a Canuck's game $125 a ticket and up Dinner at the keg with a bottle of wine $100-$150 easy. with the chances of getting Laid????? 50/50 60/40 on the first date. Your still on an outlay of $200 easy on the bottom end up to $400+ on the other side.

Nothing that is great is cheap and nothing is free. Everything has a cost to it. It depends on how you want to spend your money and the risks you are willing to take.

You make very good valid point and it's hard to argue that, I can't so I call up on all the pooners to obstein for 1 week to bring prices down.. hahaha!!!!

Economics level 101



You'll notice when Supply is low and Demand is high the Price goes up. Conversely when the Supply is high and Demand in low the price generally comes down.

In Vancouver the price Equilibrium point is about $300 for an hour or it seems to be. Some will charge more for their service some may charge less. It's how everything in a supply/ demand system works.

Your arguement is that the ladies price themselves too high.. but yet you'll pay $2 for a bottle of water (that you can get free out of a tap) or $5 for a cup of coffee without even thinking about it. Everything in our system is about supply and demand that reflects the prices that we have in place. Why do you think Fast food restaurants generally charge the exact same amount. Or High end restaurants charge more.

What your basically asking for is a Dinner at a High end restaurant $100 + for the cost of going to Burger King $20.
It's not going to happen. because supply and demand says it's not going to happen.

BadgerJohn, let me correct you please, Market price is set by SP involved & pooners involved, we can not forget pooners because they're very important factor for market makers. Don't you agree?

Won't happen.. so you can quit dreaming...Market price is set by the SP involved. See her or don't see her. The ladies are free to charge what they want to charge. If they charge too much then they'll get less clientele.

i agree with your analysis above, except I'd put the price equilibrium point a bit lower than 300... possibly 250. in reality, i don't think i see that many ads set at 300 and above. just sayin' :)

Before I ever looked at an escort ad (last july :p) I always had a feeling that it was in the thousand/hour range. Simply because I placed the value of sex really high. I knew that having a session with SW was dirt cheap but personally I never had and hopefully never will have an interest on those kind of arrangements. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the highest in perb was in the 500 dollar range. I think the rate will go high and high as time goes by due to inflation and what not, but I think the rates are quite reasonable at the moment.

Yes Pooners (hate that term actually) I Prefer SR.. Service Providers =SP Service Receivers= SR. Without demand there would be a surplus I think is what you're trying to say. But if demand decreased maybe the majority of Part timers who set their price at $300 and above would say.. nah I'm not interested in Providing a service for $200 because in reality they don't have to. Or the suppliers would move to areas where perhaps the demand is higher.

Vancouver is an expensive city to live in #1 in north America right now. Everything costs money here.

You want cheap sex then find cheap sex but don't expect a devaluation in the price charged by Service professionals.. just because you want to have sex with a model cheaper. Very Invalid argument.
Well that's how free market works.The idea that decreased demand will force a majority of the higher end SPs to move/ reduce their price reiterates the concept that SRs do have say in the price. I would say its 50:50 , SR:SP influence.
