Good new talent, but it comes at a price.
San Jose guys got spoiled by the price-to-quality ratio, it now seems to be adjusting.

It bottomed in January. I'm guessing you might have been short during the recent rally -- or am not understanding your phrasing of the situation.

$300-320 (with a few select girls higher) plus $100 upsell for BBFS.  The going rate was mostly $280 during Covid.  With inflation on everything else running 20-25% from two years ago, this doesn't seem too bad as price increases go.  It could be worse.  

I’ve forgotten the actual date of the boycott. But it was during a time when the Livre Rouge site was at its peak with providers, mongers and everyone all using the one site.

However, kgirl market is based on collusion, which is the opposite of a competitive market.

I’ve been hobbying since 2009. First in a Small city.  Now in a Large city.  In general the smaller the city, the smaller the pool of providers and the higher the costs.  Low supply. High Demand. This drives up costs.  

isn't it a fact of just paying the freight?
As far as the cost, I've always said Kgirls are the best value for what they're asking.
And resources, well didn't you say something about being able to panhandle enough money to see the girls?

I don’t pay to fuck the Kgirl.  I pay to feel free to leave after I fuck the Kgirl.  

More girls in LA now at higher rates in Stella at $380, Elin (Thai) at $360, NG/Asia at $350, and Rose/Danby/Jasmine at $340.  All no BBBF/MSOG without uncharge.  Bay Area has higher cost of living than Socal so $320 rate is more or less is not ridiculous however Bay guys had good for a very long time from days of $200 (vs $250 in LA) and they are less than thrilled to find out about increases.

The going rate for all Chinese orgs in the LA area is 400 and up.  Chinese orgs providers are mostly college age Chinese but service is not comparable to kgirl service. So a kgirl like the established legends at 350-380 is still a bargain and even more so in the BA.

Was NG the Asia from around the middle of last year and in one of her pics she was leaning against a wall/window wearing a green plaid type of schoolgirl outfit?

No NG and Asia are different girls but same price level.  Asia a legend/vet vs NG a FOB young hottie.

that's how it would look to a customer with a bias against the sellers.  Reason goes out the window.  

I asked 'cause you said NG/Asia. I was talking about another Asia from last year.  
DTLA Asia is the legend, not the one I mean.
Also, did you mean NG/Angel? Someone on another site said that NG was Angel before.

I understand rates going up, but what really pisses me off is when rate increases out-pace the COLA on my social security check! That’s a step too far!

401-K's and IRA's.  Lol

NG = KTE Angel. yes.  Rose, Danby, and Jasmine different girls as well.  I don't know about last year's Asia.  

that are like Kgirls, where if you fuck them you don't have to call or text the next day.  Kgirls just fuck someone else the next day . . . . . usually SEVERAL someone-elses.    That's one of the things that make Kgirls so much better than civvie women for sex with NSA.  

350 an hour is the new kgirl normal here in NOVA

A person who defends kgirls and orgs with all his strength, willing to lie to fellow mongers, is calling someone else biased? Lmao get out of here.

will never be the same as selling door knobs or widgets.  Also, pussy is fungible.  Most of them feel the same, so from a girl's POV, why shouldn't HER pussy be just as valuable as someone else's?  Until you reach a level where the first girl to go up has her business die, the market will continue to behave like this.  When this happens, prices will settle for awhile until some brave Kgirl decides to test the next level.   You could organize a boycott . . . . .  oh wait, that's already been done.  Lol

One more time, please try to follow what I say.  

Although, "(P)rice fixing isn't a feature of a competitive market, it is a feature of collusion, oligopoly or monopolies" to varying degrees, it's also a hallmark of an illegal industry, a fact that you like to ignore when comparing prostitution to legitimate businesses.  You should spend some of your posting time writing to Congressmen and women and tell them it's about time they legalized prostitution.  Your time will be a lot more useful that way than jousting with windmills and whining about reality when you have no power to change it, since you have conceded that boycotts don't work.  I don't believe I attributed any boycotts to being started by you.  Maybe you should read my post again.  

I see, you ran out of actual economics arguments here about competitive markets, even though you've claimed that my reasoning was "out of the window". So you decide to play the "buh but it's illegal" card.

you post fails to take the illegality into consideration.  You dodge this aspect every single time, which is fatal to your marketing arguments.  I'll say it again, you have no power to change anything with the Kgirl scene short of seeing a girl and then reporting her location to LE.  I think even you would say that is a scumbag move.  If you have any other power, let's hear it.  

Also, don't forget what a guy said earlier about civvies - "I cannot pick up civvie girls that are the same quality and beauty as when I pay.  That's WHY I pay."

Nobody here said that.  Got a link, or just another lie?  

Instead of trying to work a market analysis or trying to organize a boycott.  Why don't you just skip a session or two out of your regular rotation.  If you're a weekly client, go twice a month ... etc.  I just started to try this.  Now, I have 700 more a month and when I do go, the juice is sweeter.  Some of you think these shiny gems have lost their luster.  I think you should just back off the throttle and coast for a bit.  With the money you're not spending, buy yourself a Harley, or some really nice bourbon, or ANYTHING!  Think of it as free.  Don't invest it; spend it!  Works for me, it may for you.  

Some  guys have gone from weekly to three sessions/ month, more 30 min sessions, and no upcharge girls if bbbf/msog are important.

but may be hard to stick wtih the younger you are.  Older guys can go a little longer before the pressure becomes unbearable, but when I recall my yute days, it was hard for me to focus on anything else when I wasn't getting laid regularly.  I didn't have much money then and there was no internet, so my only choice was to go to singles bars and pick up civvie girls.  The cost of a few drinks on spec was not very much.   There is also this option now, if you know where to go, but it takes a little while to learn how to create a connection quickly enough to get her home with you the same night.
