A Pricing Question...Revive.

[silverback]

I have been going to Revive since they opened and have seen a few of the well reviewed SP's that work there (Kendra, Gabrielle, Savannah, Shyla and Malaysia). I have also been a "pooner" for many years and know the pricing and etiquette of this business. Today, I was slightly taken aback as I was interested in seeing someone new. Anyway, I met one of the SP's (who shall remain nameless as I really don't have a problem with her...just her pricing) and I asked if she provided GFE. She said yes and told me that her price for "basic GFE" was $$$40 and anything "extra" was a $ more. I asked "Really?...I have NEVER paid more than $$$ for GFE from anyone at Revive." She then told me that each SP was an independent contractor and could charge whatever they wanted, and that she "didn't know anyone at Revive that charged $$$ for GFE." I then told her that I would pass, but was a little upset at the fact that the maximum I have EVER been asked to give was $$$.

So, I am left to wonder, why would this specific SP attempt to charge so much and lie about the fact that no other SP's at Revive charge "only $$$." And yes, I do understand that she can price whatever she wants...but why so much. In her defense she was up front and very professional with me so I can't complain from that viewpoint.

Also, I am not some skid off the street that she was horrified and over-priced me so I would leave. I am a professional, well spoken, well dressed and soft spoken...(sigh)...poor me!

Pricing is whatever the market will bear, and if you are willing to pay her price and others are, then that is what she may charge. If there is no demand for her at a given price, then the price goes down and demand usually increases.

Why so much you ask? She is just feeling you out as to what she is worth. She probably did not want to lower her price and save face. When she gets hungry, her pricing will lower.

Maybe she was just testing the waters. Did you go with another girl? That is likely what I would have done, unless there is something extremely special about this young lady.

 

[silverback]

Nothing special...just thought something new at Revive was in order. I guess I'll just stay with my tried and true. But, why attempt to charge so much???? (Yes, I did stay with someone else who provided "GFE for Less"!

I somewhat disagree with the replies on this thread. My understanding of pricing at the MPs is that the girls can sort of charge what they want, but there is also pressure from the other girls to keep things more or less the same. Looking at it from the other side, if one girl undercuts everyone, she takes all the business and that causes trouble. There is also some benefit to having consistent pricing at the MP so that the customers know how much money to bring. If you get five girls charging five different prices, it's not good for business because it's inevitable someone is going to get short-changed. Plus you can bet that the girls will be spending a lot more time haggling over prices than they would like to, because inconsistent pricing leaves the impression that it's negotiable. So to me, Silverback does have a point.

In my opinion, she was testing the waters with $$$.4 to see if she could get away with it. Silverback, if it's bugging you I say contact Revive and ask them to clarify what the rates are. Or you could just let the free market sort itself out. For $$$.4 she would have to be pretty special, especially in this economy where lots of girls are lowering their rates.

economic blindfold

i firmly believe that some of these ladies try to get as much as they can because they believe the horny guy will pay..grumble but pay..instead of doing as you did...walking out.

i am also convinced that some of the sps have not awakened to the reality of the economic slump this province, country, continent is going through. they refuse to believe that their clients are going through tough times. as proof they point out that the clients are still coming through the door.....but are they coming as often as in the past...or do they believe that there will be others to replace the ones that are not as frequent as in the past. the touring ladies are offering discounts that show they are aware of the situation...locals seem to be keeping their heads in the sand...perhaps ignorance is bliss...

worse yet are the guys who actually stay and pay...but then to each his own...just my 2 cents worth.

 

[silverback]

If you truly and wholeheartedly "do understand that she can price whatever she wants", then what exactly is your problem here?





Are you trying to impersonate your friendly neighbourhood Sperminator? Were you wearing made-to-measure clothing? If so, then's let's have a "walk-off".

If you read my post...my complaint lay in the fact that she LIED about ALL the other SP's charging OVER $$$ for GFE. But I do thank you for the tongue lashing...only I would rather have received from an SP...for about $$$.

 

[gabrielle]

definitely a little weird...

i find it bizarre that the girl claimed that each SP is an individual contractor and has the right to charge what they feel is fit, and that she would personally know that none of the girls charge 'such and such' rate for a particular service.

that is really too bad that you were lied to, and who knows why it happened... but i'm thinking it was an attempt to convince you to stay. i have always liked the idea of studio pricing, but it is impossible for a studio to regulate. it is something that is amongst the girls (like with undercutting... life could become very difficult) or between the consenting adults. fortunately the SP was upfront with the pricing, really too bad she commented for the other girls, lie or not.

silverback, thanks for the redirection of the thread and what it was exactly that you didn't appreciate. i guess maybe the title of the thread threw people off what was really the issue.
guess how many times clients lie? lol!

 

[silverback]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why I see Gabrielle so often. A true class act. Thanks for the reply sweetheart! Will be seeing you soon!

Couldn't agree more.
Could it be possible that the girl finds GFE very personal and a little out of her comfort zone? Maybe she needs that little extra bit to do it??
I dont know the girl and certainly wont speak for her but do you think that could be the reason?? Just a thought.....

if a girl isnt comfortable with GFE, i do not get how her asking for more $ would make it easier.

any SP i have seen that doesn't offer GFE has there reasons why, but i also know that no amount of money will make them change there mind about it.

i think there is more to it.

I find the above statement to be very interesting. Made me think a bit about that situation and brought up a question. It is curious how when a girl is "a little out of her comfort zone" that some extra $$ can adjust the boundries of said comfort zone. How does an extra $20, $50 or $100 make it more acceptable for the SP to partake?

The way I see it, if you are an SP and you personally have said activity that is outside your comfort zone, you would just tell the client that you don't do the said activity. If it is outside your comfort zone, it is outside your comfort zone.

Personally, I feel that if a girl finds GFE very personal and a little out of her comfort zone that she is in the wrong business. That is like an automotive mechanic saying that working on engines is very personal and outside his comfort zone or a farmer saying the same thing about using a tractor. But, for some extra $$ the mechanic or farmer would adjust that boundry and partake of said activity.

There is also the possibility that, being new, she has relied on one source of information about the going rates at the mp, and was deliberately misled such that she would always quote a higher rate and find that clients would walk away. This would discourage her, possibly she will quit. Either way, leaving more biz for the deceptive "helpful" co-worker.

If she was so sure that no other sp there charges 300, yet she is still new, it seems that, being new, she couldn't possibly be that sure unless someone told her that.

 

[BS Detector]

The way I see it, if you are an SP and you personally have said activity that is outside your comfort zone, you would just tell the client that you don't do the said activity. If it is outside your comfort zone, it is outside your comfort zone.

Exactly. Otherwise, she will be doing something she is not comfortable with and therefore, probably not very enthisiastically, but yet she isl charging even more.

 

[silverback]

I just want to get a few things straight:

1) this SP is not new to the business.
2) this SP DOES provide GFE
3) this SP stated that ALL the SP's at Revive price GFE over $300
Quote: "There are no girls here that provide GFE for only $300." When in
fact they DO as I have seen them MULTIPLE times at that price.
4) A few perbites have PM'd me and asked if this specific SP was the one who
was charging over $300 as they had been charged that by her.
5) I have NO issue with this specific SP as she can charge what she wants and
the laws of consumer sovereignty dictate that I can accept or decline. My
issue is that she would claim that no other SP charges $300 for GFE.

travel with the traveling ladies

Nothing special...just thought something new at Revive was in order. I guess I'll just stay with my tried and true. But, why attempt to charge so much???? (Yes, I did stay with someone else who provided "GFE for Less"!

Go with the traveling ladies. Price is upfront, most all provide GFE. Just choose from reviews, and you can't go wrong. I find there's nothing worse than the 'cheap bastard' look you get when you tell the lady, "No thanks I'll pass". At least at a hotel, the bed is real, and the experince is much more intimate. These days $$.5 will buy you week knees, and the need for a nap.

the pricing....

now in retrospect, i realize that some girls were doing the escort thing while working in a massage parlor. the girls who could get 6-8 browns from a cracked out guy in some skid hotel at 4:30am, and 20 minutes ago were sound asleep, and going off to the client would now think they deserved above norm from the nice, clean, polite, straight and sober clients that would come see that SP during her work hours at her safe, clean and controlled location. it was a mess. those girls are no longer with us, and unfortunately denied doing such things at the time. our deepest apologies and i hope other owners and managers of other studios take note.

hugs,
revive

 

[Revive]

in the situation we dealt with...

...the client was a very good, clean, fit, polite and overall easy to deal with... and was charged a ridiculous amount (more than gfe) for less than a full session. he also wasn't told of her 'flat' rate until session was over. i was very upset with this, because i personally know this person myself and know for sure he wouldn't lie or anything like that. it was too bad for her because he did like the service and would have seen her again... up until it came time to pay.

most girls i know who are tired of a client or need to stop seeing them, generally just let the guy know. it happens and its not a big deal, and there are many reasons for it- most of which aren't personal. thats when an SP should be introducing you to another girl who she knows the client will like and vice versa.

in a perfect world....


kisses,

I`d say that based on the following recent review, it sounds like you haven`t got rid of all the bad apples just yet:

https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=116758

This kind of rip off ($260 for a half hour of crappy service) is certainly not justified.
