I keep seeing new girls post high rates, and someone always pays, but maybe taking 1 for the team, so what is the maximum amount you are willing to risk on a huge ? question mark....

Hi Patricia
I have gone up to $$$ in the past, but now, I will not see an "unreviewed" provider.  However, I have gotten recommendations (on unreviewed ladies) from trusted TER buds & reliable bookers that I have followed up on.

Unless I get the heads up from a hobbyist
that I trust and.

$$$ish  When I first started playing, I always enjoyed looking around and meeting new ladies. But I have changed a lot in that time. I still like to try something new but I just don't have the luxury of being adventurous like that anymore.  

there is an ad on the Regional Ad Board right now from a woman whose photos are gorgeous - amazingly so.
She is running a special for $600.
That is high for me, but her photos are so awesome that i would not ignore the ad without reading reviews.
But she has none.
That ended the analysis for me.
I know that $600 is more than i would even consider without amazing reviews.

$300? Yes, if the photos are gorgeous and I have some reason to believe the woman is legit.
Posting an ad here would be enough to make me believe the woman is legit.
Posting an ad on CV or someplace else would not convince me of anything, and I doubt I would bother to TOFTT unless there was something about the ad that got me over my concerns. That can happen; for $300 I would consider it if i were in a certain mood; and the photos were ones that i could not resist; and there was a good connection when i called.  

I guess my answer is $300.

There was a time when I paid unreal amounts with mainly poor results for home grown providers but no more. Still though
from time to time I  accept from  trusted bookers  the opportunity to be among the first to see a new K-doll on her first day at work. On two occasions last year  the K-dolls  had no ads or even names when I got notice.  There is a excitement of the adrenaline rush that comes about when you approach a  door mysterious  K-doll behind it.

 While not  all experience are stellar,  ones positive  attitude and desire by K-dolls to please guarantees that few such sessions are a wash outs.         

and prefer a sure bet. 95% of my K-Girl experiences are positive while the other category is more like 50%.

while donations are a personal decision, there seems to be a throw it against the wall and a wide bid/ask spread, not just for the unreviewed, but for others, as well - you also often see ads on this board from the well-reviewed  with reduced $100 off donations, which leaves the topic open for discussion and takes away from the "fun"- making it a business.
