Better late than never - pricing survey

I paid that girl 100$ for 5 hours" and "Ohhh that guy pays me 5000 an hour" etc etc.  People lie about prices, end of story.
That is why ladies should post their  prices and prices should be openly talked about it's all the damn secrets that cause all the trouble..

I really don't believe party prices are a secret. . .they are just negotiated for individually. I would never work at a fixed price brothel and I would never fix my own prices because every party and every client is different.

Not a secret? Negotiation brothels won't even post signs letting new customers know how negotiations work, let alone wanting them to discuss prices and take away an opportunity to catch a naïve customer.

4.  Activities in party.  An hour is the same length of time regardless of what we are doing.  How is it ok to charge someone $100 more for a party just because we might use $3 worth of some special oil in it?  If a guy wants a massage, does that somehow require some special effort.  An hour of time is still an hour of time regardless what happens. 


I do a lot of Nuru massages. It is a very pricy gel and sold in $50- pints. The sheets alone cost 150- each. I own 6 of them.  All bed sizes with duplicates. The room takes longer to heat up. There's extra prep work. And clean up work.. (Takes 24-48 hours for sheet to wash/dry)
I had to purchase 2 warmers, a heater for the room, etc.. I can't do one for less than 1.5 hrs. So my party is charged by activity not time. During this party, it does require special effort.  Keep in mind, a shower party or bath is included with this party.. I can see where people might think nuru should cost the same or could be done in a quickie.. But not so much.

Hiking Guy It was nice of You to Check in and Give QTO the answers He wanted .. But You are in Elko Get out their and Party like their is No Tomorrow .

wayne208,

I have been partying--6 parties in 3 days!  Remember, I need my naps & downtime between parties!

I just got back home a few minutes ago but my party list for this trip is given below:
2 parties with the new "hottie" at Mona's (Ella).
1 party with Angel@Sue's, a favorite of ours.
1 party with Yami@Sue's, a favorite of mine.
1 party with Coco@Inez's, a favorite of almost everybody.
1 party with Yvette (aka LindaMarie), a favorite of mine since 2006.

Now, when are you going to make a trip back out to Elko?

You might encourage such trips with a report on what Mona's is like under new management--not the providers, but the atmosphere, policies, etc, in the house.

I agree that there are some types of parties that do take longer, have legitimate expenses, or do require extra effort either before or after the party.  A lady does need to be properly compensated for those things.  You have been around long enough to know the types of things I was referring to.  When a lady will use $3 for a massage oil and then want to quote a client $100 higher because he is getting a massage.  Or quotes a higher rate for a special type of party (GFE, Porn Star,  then ends up doing to same thing she would do in any other party.   This ends up leaving a client feeling like he was taken advantage of and ripped off.  That not only gives a reputation to the lady but, gives the entire house a bad name.   It ends up biting us all in the butt when a client walks out the door feeling like he didn't get the very best.  I have one regular client who told me how he paid before with a credit card.  The machine that runs the card and processes the transaction failed and had to be restarted.  The lady counted that time against his party time.  A potential regular client was lost both for her and the house over what amounted to 10 mins of time.  We all need to always keep in mind that we are a providing a service.  Go the extra step to make sure the client wants to return.  Make him want to tell his friends about the great experience he had.  Nothing we do will bring more clients through the door better than positive word of mouth advertising.

Oh how very true this is! You can only get so many 'new', 'naïve' clients from the showing of TV programs like CatHouse. If more and more clients feel this way after getting jaded, it will affect the other ladies in that house and possibly other houses that individual may have been contemplating a visit. In the long run it will hurt the business of a lady that wishes to do this longer than those only wishing to pay college debt. There needs to be a way of weeding out the 'Starlets of the Year' that deceive their clients. Of course DH won't do that until they're not the top bookers anymore!

I have been accused and harassed by other girls for refusing to quote a minimum rate as high as they wanted.  I am not going to be out to drain a client of every penny he has like some of the other prima donna divas want to.  I have had other girls make remarks to me about lowering the reputation of the house by not using outrageously high rates.  Last time I checked, I am considered an independent contractor and I am not going to drive away clients with the "Golden Genital" syndrome.  If they want to do things like that, fine.  I however don't want a reputation like that and I am not going to be a part of it.  Clients who have partied with me will verify that my rates are lower than the "average".  I still consider them to be fair to me and also fair to the client which is the way it should be.

Yep!  I can vouch for what Abby says about her rates!  I've had a total of 25 parties with Abby since I first met her during July 2013 and I'm still looking forward to more parties with her in the future.  Abby is definitely a repeat-worthy lady.

...Abby give a great GFE party and I've repeated with her many times, so much, that I'd have to look it up in my Excel spreadsheets to count them all!

The Hiking Guy

Maybe we need to compare notes--whichever one of us partied with Abby the most last year could claim her as a dependent on our CY 2014 tax return.

Rand McNally,

Well, let's compare--I've "only" had 12 parties with Abby in 2014 (& for reference, 13 parties with her in 2013).

Did you have more than 12 parties with Abby in 2014?
Let me know--I plan to do my taxes soon & I'd sure like to claim Abby as MY "stress-relieving" dependent!

Rand McNally,

This would probably be better for Oddball to do since he spent more time there checking the place out and informed me about Mona's since I was coming into town. I primarily concentrated on Ella when I was there but did really like the full-contact lap dance (from Ella) in their new private lap dance room, complete with mirrors all around so one can get a full view of the lady he's "playing with" and get a nice "warm-up" for the party that follows (if desired). I'll also say I had an enjoyable time talking with the night bar tender during my visits and as always, Julie (LPIN lady at Mona's) is interesting to chat with about LPIN history while hanging out at the bar.

I really don't know much about what policies Mona's has other than a 5% surcharge if paying for parties with a credit card (just like Inez's). The LPIN ladies working there would be able to make a better comparison with before & after the changeover than I could. That said, I was impressed to see so much happening (lap dance room, VIP room, upcoming website & ladies getting involved with promoting themselves & Mona's) in such a short time (since the late December 2014 change over). Updates like this typically move very slowly in the small brothels (almost non-existent) so it was good to see some good & positive changes taking place along with future plans being talked about & discussed.

...A potential regular client was lost both for her and the house over what amounted to 10 mins of time...

As usual, Abby's is the voice of common sense. I can only assume providers who delight in shorting a trick ten minutes cannot see the forest for the trees. It's as if they see their interface with customers as a contest, and score points by petty behavior such as Abby cites, at the expense of losing who-knows-how-much repeat business. Why was gaining ten minutes so important when sex work is mostly sitting and waiting? As Abby has said earlier, if the guy was so disgusting that she wanted to short him ten minutes, why was she doing him at all? 

I became Abby's regular trick not only because she's cute as a bug, a fanstastic sex partner, and a fascinating conversationalist, but also because on our first encounter she quickly agreed to a competitive price for an hour party--and spent an additional two hours talking with me on her dime. She put her money where her mouth is--which led me to put my mouth where her money is, but that's another story.

Hiking Guy--
I was only with Abby ten times during CY2014--I only met her in June. (I can hear Abby muttering, 'and he talked so much it seemd like twenty times.') Hopefully Abby will read this and send you her social security number for your tax return.

I appreciate the insights into Monas. I could write a separate essay of my complaints about the old management, but that would  serve no purpose. I'm bemused that they are introducing pole dancing and lap dancing--as I recall, that didn't mix particulary well with prostitution at the Bikini--but Elko is a different kettle of fish, so I hope it works for them.

As for Julie, I agree she is an LPIN treasure. Not only is she a superlative sex partner, but has shared many stories and shrewd insights. It's a pity that she has more sense than to waste her time posting on this board.

I definitely do not condone shorting guys on time.

LadyAries,

Simple--working long hours each day and generally working weekends too to get work projects done on time and within budget!

That's why I need my Nevada vacations--stress relief while completely forgetting about work and the LPIN ladies I repeat with are very good at making that happen.
