Dude prices have been insane these days especially in the NYC area. I think part of the issue is Tryst and TER going down for a while. The Fed needs to keep upping interest rates until the price of an escort is back down to $300 an hour.

Not where I am.  

 
I still see plenty of sub-500/hr women and everything is included. I even see a few who are 300 and under and they're always amazing.

The provider should be honest.

GFE should not be extra. If she posts her rates she should post non-GFE rate & GFE. I offer PSE for extra, but it’s clearly stated. Lots have changed, but that’s life. Roll with it, or don’t we all have the freedom to make our own choices.  The cost of living is at all time high inflation. There maybe a recession coming. Be blessed & thankful if you have a regular that does not watch the clock, or grandfathered you in at a special rate.

@jd363, a true baller, reports that in Vegas and Miami South Beach, punters are making it rain.
K-Orgs in the Yay Area have hiked their prices 30% in the past 18 months, with zero pushback from Mongers.
Top end K-Girls go for north of $$$$, even C-grannies have hiked their prices .4-.6 .

I don't even bother checking with non-Asian providers any more, not only due to price hikes, but most have developed severe GPS.

As has been discussed several times on this very board, prices are a one-way rachet, they go up, buy rarely come down, barring "Black Swan" events like the 2008 crash, which saw a lot of new talent into the market .. i.e., Britney the Realtor or Mortgage Loan Processor started taking out ads on CL/Backpage.  Unlikely to repeat, even in the same circumstances, as most new entrants are going to the Sugar Bowl, much more discreet.

Great for guys with good game and a love pad, but sucks for the rest of us.

and in my view is just a ripoff. It sure as hell is not a new norm.

There are plenty of ladies in the NYC area in the $500-700 range with a typical GFE menu and no upselling.
