What do you do when there is a lady you might be interested in, and you don't particularly want to pay her asking price?  

If the provider did not make it clear on her donation request,  
IE... "Ask or Contact me"

If I don't want to pay her price, it's a simple choice for me. I DON'T.

having a good time with her if we start in negotiation..  
Once I was with a girl.. she asked if I wanted Greek.. then told me it would be another $100.. OK.. so I'm in the middle of her CG on me. and I have to stop and think whether I have $100 in my wallet .. a real buzz kill.. so this is sort of the same thing.. I couldn't really look a girl in the eye or anywhere else if I got her to drop her rates..  
Too high.. and I move on.. I set a max in my head (but I will break it every now & again) and I won't go higher.. You have to accept that there are some girls you will never see.. that's life..

I recently changed my price range, raising it to another level and class of provider...I did this because the girls in the range I was working in started becoming drama issues...this of course has affected my budgeting and scheduling of dates but the improved experience makes it worth it...

You are about to learn an expensive lesson.

I'll have to look into it.

I think it's like anything in life: there are always going to be things you want and can't afford.  
If you wanted to buy a Mercedes but had the money for a Ford is the MB dealer going to drop his price because you want him to? Not hardly, pilgrim.  
But I liked the question because I think we all consider it from time to time

I have to think that, after having haggled on rate, the provider isn't going to be able to get that out of her mind.  Whenever I've been forced to accept a lower price, I've resented it and it always affected my outlook on that person.

I don't think going back and forth about rates over the phone or in e-mail is good thing, You will find that most do not even like to discuss rates for service. Another thing is it just isn't the way to go when looking for a date. There are so many reasons to name but  I say move on and find someone where the price isn't an issue.

I am a horrible negotiator (just don't like haggling) AND since this is the ultimate service industry, the provider may begrudgingly accept a lower fee and that may translate into a less than stellar experience.  

but if I've asked her for her rate, I think she deserves the straight answer.  I think I'd let her know that as much as I'd love to see her, her rate exceeds my budgeted $400.  I don't think it's "negociating" per say to that.  I would never ask her to lower her rate but she might decide to make an offer.  
The problem is if I see her rates here on TER or somewhere, I probably would not ask her at all.

This might be a little different but

Based upon almost all of the responses to this post, sounds like most hobbyists DO seek chemistry and rapport during an appointment.

I'd give your email a nice bright red label (red being the color of choice for clients to AVOID).  

I may pay her once, but I probably won't be a regular.

Well played sir! Kudos!

I knew you would like that true story.

Well played sir! Kudos!  
   
 An old but a very underused negotiating strategy.  
   
 I am proud to say you are now accepted back in JD University!  
   
 Sasha will be in touch with the dorm and sleeping arrangements.  
   
 But shhhhhhhhhhhh about the girl not tanking the session part.  
   
 That is a secret we don't share with the outside world.

I can't wait to read the review of the three of you. LOL

imo, i consider it an insult to try to negotiate

At least according to my professor at JDU.

As is 702touch...

Doesn't it depend on the circumstance? Would you Scarlett Letter someone that wanted to negotiate an overnite or multi-day appointment, particularly if they told you to disappear except when you were fucking and eating?

If he was seeing $100 gals and went up to $200. There is definitely differences in drama, looks, and performance, in those low ranges as you move up. However I think once you reach a certain level (and that level depends on the area) more money just means more money.

If she is out of my range, she is out of my range. However I do watch ads and if there is a discount or "sale" price offered I may make contact.

I've never had a client book an overnight (or longer), and tell me to get lost except for 'dinner and dessert' and 'breakfast in bed.' But if that's what he wanted (and promised), I might give a discount. IF the client seemed really nice, and IF he had immaculate references and pre-date contact... and IF everything was guaranteed exactly the way you describe (separate rooms, scheduled alone time, etc).  

If you really feel you must approach a lovely lady out of your budget with a offer...
1) don't make it far off the asked mark and state clearly your budget with rationale for the request  
2) approach her with a very well written email including all the necessary details to be taken seriously
3) do include all details for verification without being asked to and if you do not have the traditional information begin to open up your personal info without being ask to  

Scheduling and availability for starters.

Low ball the shit out of her and then work your way up..You'd probably want some OTC at the local buffet too..lol

If you can afford her rate, and are just not willing to pay... then why on earth should she meet you halfway (or anyplace else)?  

Your max price is 400 yet you have seen providers with rates over 400 from checking your reviews. What does that mean?

choose to pay her price and see her, or choose not to pay her price and don't see her. Since you framed your question with "I don't want to pay her price"... the choice is yours.

The reason why I'm not paying her rate shouldn't matter, should it?

If her reviews are great, but her price is a bit more than I want to pay, I'll pay her what she's asking. When I see her on a regular basis then I'm usually able to pay less than her intial price .

there are literally 1000's of amazing ladies at all pricepoints available to all the guys here. I'm certain most guys "don't particularly want to pay ANY ladies asking price" lol but this is a business first. And business is business. I have yet to understand why you would warrant any more thoughts on this matter quite honestly. Maybe think about how you can come up with some more disposable income so you can see the particular lady instead of the latter. There's always money to be made in just about anything if you want something bad enough.  

Still couldn't earn the extra cash, not to mention a rather counterproductive exercise no matter which way you look at it.

In life most things are negotiable.  

pimping yourself lol. Not ladies. I know there are some guys here who think they can sell their goods. Makes me giggle lol. I say go for it.  

but that doesn't make it negotiable.  

There are too many ho's on the stroll to be THAT GUY  👍

Since men are primarily the patrons of providers.  

Asking for a deposit is a form of negotiating.

Well,  

I remember that from Economic 101 in college. Or was it Physics?...

Ask what her rate is through direct contact and if she responds leave it at that unless there is an ad she already has out with a lower posted rate than what she quoted you or a recent special she has posted and call attention to it.  

...and it almost always works  You'd be surprised how many ladies just want to seal the deal even if means a few less greenbacks for them.

that's debatable.

Makes me feel like a cheap rug in a Persian bazaar. If someone knows my rate and calls saying yes but I only have $200 to spend then I politely tell him that there will be other ladies in his price range to suit his budget better. I set my rate at a reasonable level to suit what I think my time and scrumptious service is worth. I may WANT to stay in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives on holiday but my budget doesn't stretch to $1500 a night rooms so I go somewhere else

to ask her what her 90-minute rate would be if it is not listed on her website.

what if you see a car that you can't afford?

I personally would not enjoy private time if I would think how hard he worked to make this money.
He possibly saved over bloody sweaty work of his!!
Worked hard and wants to play hard ? While I want elegant relaxing time with a lover.
I can not take his money
from his hungry kids and wife which can't afford a spa or just simple good steak 3 times a week for whole family
And here, let s say  "a provider who  does take all from him for few a hours?  

after a while extra money is just what the girl is trying to squeeze out of the free market.

If she's in the 200/hour range I would never ask unless I was looking for an extended session (anything over 2 hours)
However if she's in the 4-600 range I would let her know who I am by referring her to my aliases or screening info and just be totally straight that I would love to see her get to know her and hopefully see her on a fairly regular basis however that her current rate is beyond my means. I've found that by having great references and being honest helps tremendously. Sometimes because of the approach and other times if they are having a slow period or really horny they will consent to seeing me. Don't forget that they are people and have feelings and desires and needs as well.
