I used to pay a hell of a lot more than that for agency stuff. Gosh, if I would have been on Perb then, I would have known better, and saved a lot of scratch.
Some people will pay a premium for "18" year olds. (Remember the hoopla when Candy introduced herself?) Hope she's doing alright.
Supply and demand. If the demand is up there by your age, service, personality, etc. then get what it's worth. You can dine at Hy's or the Keg and probably get a great meal at both. Still, not the same. Make hay while the sun shines....

P.S. If I lived closer to the Peg, I'd gladly TOFTT...
