4. Hikingguy, my comments were definitely not directed at guys with your mentality. Guys with your mentality are fine. (Since prices can't be posted, there's no way of you to know whether something is in your budget until you approach the lady.) What's NOT cool is when guys try to convince ladies they should change their prices because they are able to get something from someone else somewhere else. There's nothing wrong with politely declining an offer that's out of your budget.
In closing, there is nothing wrong with paying little money for little parties. BUT that's not your only option.
Hikingguy's mentality is way better than fine. He has been on LPIN/SIN and actively visiting brothels for years. He is very informed about pricing (way more informed than you are obviously)! Being aware of "the legal market average" can be a very handy tool for any IC to use in order to keep their own pricing somewhat in line with their competition especially if other brothels are within reasonable driving time/distance from where you are located. Most of these guys on here, when they do travel to NV, have a tendency to stay for several days and usually have quite a few parties throughout their stay. Also, they generally go to an area where there are several brothels to go and party.
And as far as making the statement on here that "there is nothing wrong with paying little money for little parties. BUT that's not your only option." Who are you to tell them what their options are? How do you know what their budget is, or what their overall plans include while in NV?
Negotiating a party is just that, negotiation ON BOTH SIDES. It has to be a win/win! The client shouldn't come in and offer $100 for an 1 hour party with all activities included and not budge on the price, time or activities. That is clearly unreasonable (but believe it or not I have been aware of this happening on many occasions) and the client ends up leaving with no party. That's his fault, at least partially, for not being more aware of general pricing in brothels. Also, they should not expect the same pricing in brothels as they might get from illegal independents, but it seems alot of potential clients are not aware of an IC's incurred expenses by choosing to be at a legal/safe brothel. Right off the top, we split the amount of each party with the house 50/50; we have room and board to pay on a daily basis; we have the cost of the weekly medical clearance to pay for; we have to pay the house for any and all transportation to and from the house (to the doctor, shopping, airport, etc.); we have the sheriff's work card to pay for (in Nye County it is $125 every quarter); I personally have a round trip flight to pay for plus baggage costs; clothing; personal care items (hair, makeup, etc.) and the list goes on.
But by the same token, IC's must be competitive not only price wise but in the quality of service they provide. Clients talk and word does get around about outrageous pricing, terrible parties, an IC not living up to her word (shorting time/activities agreed on), etc.
