There is a thread from a few days ago about the price of this hobby dropping because of the economy.

I live in SoCal, the OC, and after looking at the ads on the regional board was thinking just the opposite. There, the prices are pretty high. Lots of $500 - 1000 hr ladies are advertising.

Anyway, it got me to thinking about the "best" I've ever experienced and how much it cost me.

My best was a gal named Becky from Laguna Beach. I found her thru the phone book ( an agency ) and she charged me $200. Granted this was a few years ago,,, but even then $200 was inexpensive.

In fact, most of my favorite encounters were less than $400.

I have had a few $500-600 encounters and the only one which was memorable was Naughty Ali ( we ended up becoming friends ). The others were,,,,Ok, but not off the charts rip roaring great.

I have never pd more than $600 so I don't know what that would be like.

So, the question is,,,,,,,

How much correlation do you see between satisfaction and price paid?????

I have 3 ATF's. One is $250. , one is $300. and she is OFF The charts in GFE and Service, it doesn't get any better than her.  I do have one that I pay $400. for and travel 115 miles one way to see.

4 bills was max I paid.  I started the hobby back in the mid 90s.  2 or 3 bills got me great experience from the phone book back then.  When the internet became the norm, I remember I only paid 3 or 4 bills for some top providers.  My regular girl was 3.5 bills back in 03' and she never raised her price over the 3 years we saw each other.  Nowadays, I notice a bunch of 5, 6 or even 7 bills.  What surprises me is that some of these 5 or 6 bills girls only do CBJ.  That's the part I don't get.  I have seen quite a few ladies lately, but the max I paid was 5.  I usually pass at anything over 5.  There are way too many good choices under 5 already.  Anyway, happy hobbying.

Are these ladies still active? Contact info?

But the best 3 experiences I ever had were for $$, $$, and $$.5. Yes, believe it.  And these were all in the past 2 years.  And I tried many $$$$, $$$$$, even a 14$ pse provider and none were as good as my three.  Only higher priced greatness was with Mimi who has seemingly, sadly (for guys, but great for her, im happy for her) retired.  Few who saw her would say she was anything less than THE BEST ever, current stars included.
