I once asked a Provider this question - what I was told was "I provide a different level of service to TER guys versus other Boards.  For other Boards I get a cheaper room, I do not provide full GFE, I'm just not into it at that lower price."

Truth?  Fiction?  Caveat Emptor.

Re: OK. I'll get it started....I'm on my last days........

Speaking of stirring the pot. I'm kind of sick of this question. I guess mainly because it does not pertain to me personally and I feel like I get lumped into this category on the grounds that you say "why do providers", instead of "some providers" charge a different fee on one site or another??? Making it sound as if all providers do this.  I do not.  I try to keep all my ads current, and if there is any question about it I tell them to check out my website because all the info on there is current.

Many sites steal provider ads, if someone asks me about a site that I do not post on then I tell them to view my website.  It's also up to the hobbyist to do a little research, if you find so and so is offering a special on BP but not on TER, tell her you saw her ad on BP and receive the lower rate. If she refuses, then there is a reason to bitch about it.  I  post my regular rate on my ads and refer gents to my website (with a link) to check out my specials.  That is up to them to visit my website and look for the lower rate. It's amazing how most guys do not do this.  How is this my fault?  Do you pitch a fit when you go to a store and notice one price at the store but a different one in the paper or internet?  Probably not, you speak up and snag the lower rate.

I can understand how you would feel ripped off if you find that a provider is charging a lower price on another site.  That is why it is beneficial to Google the ph # of the provider, every ad she posts will most likely pop up in the search.  Please don't lump all of us into this category of charging different rates.  That is like saying  ALL hobbyists are hagglers, when only SOME are.
