OK guys, I must ask:

A couple of well-known girls have had some recent work done, and subsequently raised their rates (significantly).  How do you think it's working out for them?  I'm curious to see if the Phoenix market "bares" what they are offering (no pun intended).

for an hour? Now thats getting crazy. You think that it is slow now, raising prices doesnt help. the way I see it, is the more volume you have the more dough.

I hope Mya keeps her rates where they are as it is damn hard to get an appt. as it is!!  Those that rely on volume over quality, rare fine art are called Wallmart or Super Wallmart AKA BBW-mart

Sorry bigrich, 5 bills is not a recent increase.  Mya has charged this rate for many months now.

Judging by her reviews, she is not suffering for business and the price is well worth it!!!

Some guys like quality not quantity and maybe she’s not into volume.

did not know she increased her rate months back since I never paid much attention to her other than at meet and greets, just not my type, I like brunettes not blondes. I am sure she is worth it. I am pretty happy with mystiqueus when I can get downtown and with one of the other ladies I see regulary at 3bills. With regards to quality and quantity, we all like quality, but when the ladies or agencys start raising rates and things slow down, everyone suffers. I used to like Dans old thoughts, about the bidding, what was it Dan, priceline.com for hobbyiest? LOL.

Priceline.com now that’s an interesting thought. Lets start an agency and put the girls up for bid. Just kidding ladies.

It was more of putting up a price and letting the ladies bid on our pricing, lol. But with all the rate increases who knows whats next, maybe will will have to bring flowers, candy and wine to the session as well.

This sounds like we hobbiest are heading toward a "TRUE" GFE with the providers.  Pay big bucks for little action only to get dumped in the end.  Its becoming like golf.  I can no longer afford the green fees.  Thank god for the internet where porn is everywhere and relativly cheap

Having seen Mya and Isabella recently, it's hard to imagine further "improvements," but I guess that's what makes them and others exceptional. They make improvements for us, and it certainly seems to be working. The great thing about Phoenix, spoken as an appreciative  visitor, is you have so many great assets and choices! It's "baring" up well...the market will decide. My opinion.

I hope it is going well. Truly.  

Why?  Because once someone decides to wiggle through that window, it's a bit hard to crawl back out.  Anything below that becomes the blue-light special, and it cheapens the reputation of the provider.

I'll take Mya and Pebble Beach.

And be glad to pay to play.

I hobby all the time (hell im on the way out the door to see someone now) i use craigs often and ive never had any problems mostly since im not lacking in wit or sense.
remember the 4 golden rules of the hobby and always be ready to bounce your ass out of the situation and your gold with craigs.
As for being willing to pay i would rather see three girls a week at 600 for all;
