So I know a lot of providers will say it's a bad taste to try to negotiate price but it is a business. I typically will respect what a provider says her rate is and I have a limit on what i will spend, which is why I typically don't see super high ad providers (although I might save up from one or two in particular).
To make a long story short about two weeks ago a pro on Twitter was offering a discount for that night. Unfortunately I  wasn't available that particular night but I'm wondering if I it would be okay to ask her if she would still be open to a date for that particular nights rate. Thoughts.

If she was very clear about the discount (ex: her post said something like tonight only) then I would not ask.  Otherwise, if it had only been a day or two, you could try asking if that discount was still available but you still run the risk she might get unhappy.  Researching the provider may you give you insight into how she does things.  Some make it very clear the rate is the rate and what it was at some point in the past doesn't matter anymore.

Have you previously seen said provider before? If you haven’t I would recommend that you didn’t go ask her for a discount. I hope in the future if she is offering that special you can take advantage.  

Would it in your humble opinion be OK for him to send an email saying.  
“ I saw and missed your last special and if you offer it up again me know as would seriously love seeing you at that rate .”  
You definitely have a pulse on the scene and respect your wisdom.

you must have more nerve than Carter's got Liver Pills lol! Although the question may seem innocent enough, I think it's imperative a client understands their audience/recipient and their relationship to the audience/recipient. Flip the role and imagine being the provider on the receiving end of the question. What they are going to interpret from that question is a complete 180 from what is probably intended. Again, what may very well have been an innocent question could easily be interpreted by a provider as "ahhh so he'll only see me at a discount" or something in the same vein.  

Go that route because that could mean a bad situation for you. Not even if you're a regular. We all can get a special rate but never ask.

Looking at your reviews and all the fours and fives on there, you obviously are a bottom feeder.

Hey man, I asked a simple question and all you can do is give  some lame response worrying about the providers I have seen. Your critique or criticism isn't necessary and I really don't care so why don't you just keep it pushing.

I did look back and see you have not done well in the “bargain basement “
The thing is you need to pay something for quality.

Come on guys, He's just looking for diamond in the rough, it may take time & alot of luck, but there's nothing wrong w/ that,

a discount is never going to end well.  Just spend some time on Twitter to get the vibe.   Some want tips, gifts, money for nails/hair/birthday just because they posted a nice picture or asked......and they get it, regularly.  Asking for a discount will likely get you banned, blacklisted, blocked or named on the secret escort "avoid" list.  

Basically you were asking this board if it’s all right to be a dick.  

I will go into length on another response on this thread but how do you reconcile saying:

Never, NEVER,  try to "negotiate" a "price" with a provider.

I could care less if you respond back or not. 1st you called somebody a Dick and then you call somebody a scammer. A scammer is someone who commits fraud or has no intention of hooking up with a pro, obviously I've seen plenty of providers as you've evidently seen with my reviews so certainly not a scammer. 2nd I asked a legitimate question in which a provider on Twitter was offering a special on a night on which I was unavailable, if it would be appropriate to see if she was still offering it. It's a simple yes or no,  Worst case scenario is she says no and I move on..  And yeah I've been offered deals before, so i have an idea gow this businessworks partner.. As for someone else saying that I should save up for a high-end provider, I might (as I have two or three in mind)  but kicking out $600 per hour for a pro it's something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's not necessarily affording it but it's the that 1 hour of fun is almost half my monthly mortgage payment.

Personally I don't negotiate with them, I have contacted some that wanted more money than I have to work with, and they have agreed to that. I will say the price of pussy the last few years is to high many do not hobby as often. Some girl are way out of line, no reviews and they want 500 oh well some guys are dumb enough to pay it, it costs us all.what really gets me is the service you receive from ho`s now,  standard use to be th one pop, hour 2 and usually got full hour. A pro should always provide a good clean up, many gals forget there hired to serve you, not us serving them. I really dont care about how educated they are, or what there nails look like. I want them clean showered on time and ready to fuck and suck and show me a good time, hopefully they also have a good time too.i don't white and do nb e them on my di m e but will gladly buy them dinner or a few drinks but not there time.  My advice find a gal within your budget and you'll both have a good time. My experience has taught me the price you pay has little relation to the sexual experience you receive within certain parameters. Good luck.

you've been fairly nitpicky lately but it is what it is.  

Pay your mortgage…quit whining Richard  

So three things.
One-  Sorry to inform you that my name is not Richard. Clearly you must be thinking of someone else. But you are correct that I do have a mortgage to pay like most responsible homeowners so bouns point for that.
Two-  I'm a highly educated person, so i dont need to search things up on google unless I am doing research and then I have sense enough to be discerning what websites I'm looking at for said information.
Three-  I'll give you a example. In your last message you said you wouldn't respond but you did so that makes you dishonest. But we could say that you are untruthful, deceitful, unscrupulous, treacherous, underhanded, dodgy, unreliable, underhanded, and a scoundrel..  Oh, by the way, I didn't need to go on Google to know the synonyms.
 It's all good though, enjoy your car date and your Yugo.

Uhhm, so many things I can say about your idiotic and moronic response but I don't have the time or energy.  But I will say something about decorum because typically when you have a conversation with someone you start off with respect. If you disagree with what I asked the board that's totally fine I respect that, but when you divulge and dive into insults by saying someone's an idiot or a moron that's when you lose all credibility. That's the problem with this world but it cool.  Don't forget to put on your big boy pants, I'll just make sure I put on my man pants.

It appears  the lady in question is someone you really would like to see but out of a range without the discounted rate. You are the only one who knows  it  is who and how much so why should others of criticize whatever you do.  
Why not either get the extra money and skip a cheaper date to do so or ask about a discount/. If you pay up was it worth it and if you asked for the discount did you receive it and get a date or get shut down. Inquiring minds would like to know.
Most of us have limits including myself . One of my biggest regrets is that I did not pay up to see Poppy before she retired and now will never know if the extra dollars would have been worth it..
Her body her rules . Your wallet your rules.

Ranger,
Appreciate your respectful and informative response. It's good to communicate with someone who has some decorum and has manners and doesn't fling insults like some of the idiots on this board. So I definitely thank you for that.  For high end girls there are 2 lists I have. The ladies I definitely hope to see and who I will eventually bite the bullet and see,  the 2nd tier of ladies that I'd like to see but only if their  prices were lower. This particular girl is in the second teir and had lower prices until covid and then she up her prices by almost 200 bucks an hour, this is why I was so excited when I saw the deal but I was not available that particular day. I'll play it by ear and see if something potentially happens with her. If I see her great, if not, no big deal.

I agree with Paige that the wording may just come back to kill the senders chance of ever seeing this lady, but maybe a simple "good roads" message reaching out and acknowledging that they saw the special and were impressed but truly sorry that they missed it.  
Leave it at that, the lady is getting complimented about her marketing and the fact that she was noticed and maybe the guy is being seen as a future interest. If not you at least did not piss someone off about trying to be a Walmart shopper.

the whole bargain basement thing is really a slam on any of the ladies out there that might think their rates are fair. I feel the hookup needs to more about the ladies in alot of our sessions and if we show them some respect and they have as much fun as we do maybe they will want to ask us back for many repeats, compromise on the so-called upgrades and even offer at that time, a deal. Do not count on it, and for sure do not ask for it but good communication may be vital on this hobby and then it might not be a bad dialogue to lead up to your business together. Upgrades always confused me .......
 my bone to pick is the ladies that travel to our fair city and ask for outrageous rates.........that to me is a slap in the face 'our' special ladies. when we jump at them and drool all over the boards about them, that seems like a shun of our regulars.......600, 700 and more just seems to me where it can only get soooooooo good but maybe I am just old and stuff does not work as well

hey Ranger great points and well said, respectful and informative, thanks the thread was getting a little deep ....and i miss Poppy too.

We can debate the "oughts" of the question, but general experience regardless is that broaching the subject of discounts does not generally see a positive outcome.  On that basis alone I wouldn't recommend the practice.

I think every hobbist on here has experience upselling including myself. I never read a positive review with upselling.  I will not sell a provider if upselling is involved ever. you can expect the same with providers in haggling.

I do not know you, or anything about you.

You know what Pants you're absolutely right. I shouldn't expect respect from a stranger. Just another problem in this f'ed up world that we live in. I know I myself as a man wouldn't go on board and insult someone I didn't know who asked a question. Maybe respect is too strong of a word so I'll just say having some civility or decorum. The fact of the matter is I posed a question and you took the time out of your day to respond throwing out that someone was an idiot or moron for asking a legitimate question on if he should ask if a provider was still offering a special that she offered a week earlier. When Ranger answered,  He gave thoughts on why he thought it wasnt a good idea but did so without throwing insults.  But you know I'm over it because I'm the farthest thing away from an idiot moron so there's that period

That certainly did come across as vitriolic, and my apologies for not wording it better,

There are plenty of other hobbies or businesses to negotiate in……this is not one of them imo
