I see ladies coming through town asking $600 or more for one hour. Are these ladies worth twice the average fee? I'm not knocking them or their prices, just trying to understand why and what more does one get for the price if anything at all?
Sorry for using an alias but afraid I might get hammered for asking this!

IMHO and experience, only marginal differences in quality of experience at higher price points, if any

Ready for it...BECAUSE THEY CAN! That's it. Nothing that would require a decoder ring to figure out. We charge what we CAN GET. It is not because anyone looks better, fks better, etc. but only because guys are willing to pay that to certain providers. If I could charge a grand, I would be doing it, but I can't.

Because she can is exactly it.  After all, no one else can offer her specific service.  Welcome to capitalism.  

I have spent at the higher price points and it often gets you a nicer hotel, the lady will wear nicer things and she might be in better shape and better groomed.  In the end, skills all the same.  My Omega Plant Ocean tells the same time as my Citizen at over 12 times the price but it is an Omega.  If you want to wear it, that is what you pay.  Like any luxury good or service, price drops when demand drys up.  This is one of the few businesses where the value of the professional providing a service decreases with age; I do not fault anyone for making the money while they can.

would almost always gives you a better face and/or a better body, a better hotel for incall, more complemtary remarks about you from the ladies.   All of that usually leads to you having a better experience.

Nope...only thing you got right is maybe a better location, and usually a private incall not a hotel. There are literally hundreds of hot 19-23 year olds in Houston charging only 250. If you look at the HDH crowd, most are in their mid 30s.

I have paid 600 an hour in DC and 1200 per hour in Paris and all price points in between.  Only thing memorable about the experiences was the quality of the surroundings and the price I paid.  All my ATFs are competitively priced and often just as attractive.

London Rayne's answer is quite correct, but not complete.  

This is about as free a market as there is. You decide what you are willing to pay, and she decides what she is willing and able to provide. If hobbyists can't find what we want, we should probably consider raising what we are willing to pay or slimming down our list of requirements. The same goes for her; if she isn't getting the business she wants, she should consider cutting rates or changing services. On the other hand, if she is turning away business, raising rates makes sense.

We are willing to pay some price for a certain package of experiences that we prefer (e.g., number of hours, great looks, apparent youth, implants/natural, GFE, dinner date, role play, water sports, Greek, domination, nice hotel, or whatever else). What that package is that works for you is up to you. For me, GFE is essential, but she would have to pay me for domination. I gather some forms of domination don't come cheap, so others might have the reverse preference and be willing to pay dearly for it. You do get what you pay for if you shop carefully, but what you would pay some amount for and what I would pay the same amount for might be very different things.  

On the ladies side, they have their own tastes and limits as well as their god-given (beauty and natural boobs) and acquired (education, piercings, and artificial boobs) assets. They are willing to offer your preferred package of experiences or some other to they extent that they can for a price that is satisfactory to them. London Rayne put some of her limits out  there on another recent thread: "Rimming will never be a part of GFE for me, nor will anything that has to do with my ass or yours." As she said, she would charge a grand if she could, but she would presumably have to relax some of her limits or make do with less business to do so, and she isn't willing to go that far. There is noting wring with that. It is her body and her time and therefore her choice.

At Outback, drinks cost $5. A meal which includes sides cost $25. At Ruth's, their average steak is $75, and it's a la carte. Side of mash-potato is $15, their average drink is $17 (regular alcohol and not top shelf).

If you ask me, it taste the same but its just in a different setting. Sure, I'm paying more for the environment. What's the big difference? Well, its there for people that can afford it and splurge a bit. Its also there to segregate people from the masses. Sometimes I like a quite atmosphere, and that's when I don't mind paying a bit more.  

If I go to outback, sometimes they get my order wrong, then I have to wait, then I gotta see all those kids running around the restaurant, and sometimes its just too damn noisy. I've had a few times where Ruth messed my order up, but it was minor.

Same thing can be said for escorts. It's there for people that can afford it. It's there for people that want some quite time. Its there for people that don't want "traffic". It's there for people that want a different environment. Now, does the pussy taste the same? Sure, probably.

and solely based on my own experience specific to the DMV area.  Hard to compare if you start looking at different cities.

means nothing.  

You can pay $1,000 an hour and the chemistry might not be there. That is a hunk of change to experience a dud. The best session I ever had by far was an agency girl for $300. I have paid more on other occasions and received less value.  

I will stay with the Outback. To date, they have never screwed up my order--but I do keep it simple.

I follow your Outback analogy for the vast majority of cases.  But I guess you have never eaten at Burns in Tampa.  Those that have been there know going in it is easy to drop a couple Ben's on dinner for 2.  Part of that is the experience, and the ambiance.  However, they have, hands down, the best steaks I have ever had (and I have traveled most of the world).

I am new to the hobby, but I have to believe that at some point everyone will find that experience where everything clicks and it is truly a once in a lifetime experience (not an inflated review 10).  It is possible that it will happen with a "value priced" provider, but it is more likely to happen at a higher price point.  Just like Burns, the setting is part of the experience that engraves it in your memory.  I don't remember all the Holiday Inns I have stayed at in my life, but I will never forget the Royal Bermudiana overlooking Hamilton Harbor on Bermuda.

bout five or six years ago, I noticed an ad in the VIP listings of Eros for one million dollars per year.  I will always be curious if anyone accepted that lady.  I thought, what if you agreed to that rate and did not really like the lady?  You’re screwed!   I wish I had saved the ad.

But you must realize that any woman you meet is a roll of the dice, regardless of the price.

Prices are set by supply and demand.  Higher prices imply nicer hotels and nicer lingerie, etc. etc.  But I often question why some highly-rated agencies, DCIntro, DolceDesires, charge $300 while others charge $350 and $400 for what appears to be the same level of service.  As for those $600+ visitors, how many times will you see them?  If you like her, she will not be back for a long time.  If you didn’t, you’re out a lot of money.

For myself I have never noticed ANY difference between say the Korean agencies at $260 per hour and Blue Flame, pushing $400.  The average TER rating seems to be the same for both agencies.  I would prefer to spend two hours with a Korean agency or TravelingCompanions for $500 than spend one hour with someone for $400.

Do your window shopping at the TER reviews, and look at the price.  Find an agency (or individual) that is highly rated and at the price you can afford, and stay there.  It’s their right to charge what they wish, and mine to go elsewhere

"Because we can" suggests us being ALLOWED to do so, meaning if you're not willing to pay it, then we CANNOT. Tis why I can't charge a grand lol.  

Thought that was clear.  We are both talking about equilibrium, which is what most any business person strives for...the ability to make the amount of money they need, without being worked to the bone servicing too many clients, for too little money.

I believe in most cases, the ladies who are charging more are giving you more of themselves. They aren't seeing as many people, and are more likely to have a fairly normal personal life. (They may have a normal job, be upstanding citizens, hold a traditional relationship etc.) So, their minds are clearer and more interested in the relationship they build with you.  They are less jaded, more personable and they value themselves and their time much more then those who may have no other way. There for they are more interested in enjoying the experience oppose to seeing you as a number.  

So, I would say..yes they are worth more then the average rate.

Everyntime I have a not-so-stellar appointment, I think "Wow, I could have had a great steak, a great bottle of wine, and shared it with a great female friend.". Instead, I am wishing I still had that $350 in my pocket."

if equilibrium is $300-$400 is per hr. is $700-$1000 twice as good?

 

The Economics course curriculum offers a class (senior year) in Price Theory - as it applies to the providers where you charge higher rates ($400 hourly) the demands lessens - lower the price and demand increases - yes your hoping for that elusive point of equilibrium where the amount of labor you are willing to expend exactly equals the demand for your services. A big part of the mix is age and beauty - as those deteriorate over time - to get your phone to ring you will necessarily have to lower your price.  Your enemy is the competition - as many more younger, prettier and more willing girls set-up websites and agencies expand and backpage girls advertise - the level of competition increases and your bookings erode. So enjoy it while you can and lose the smug attitude - its the buyer who has the power.

I must disagree with your over simplification.  This is a SERVICE industry, so service matters.  In some cases, service matters a good bit more than age or appearance.  There is a reason some people still take their cars to the dealer.  They charge more, but they know your model intimately and are more likely to fix it right the first time than a "bargain" repair shop.

I will grant that a 70 year old provider that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down is unlikely to generate much demand no matter the price.  But for many, a "mature" woman that knows more about pleasing a man than just providing excellent "mechanics" of sex will always be in demand.  In a service industry, the "intangibles" matter more.  I bargain shop at Walmart...I did not bargain shop for my divorce lawyer.

I do agree however that every person in the equation will find their own balance.  What one person perceives as a great value may not motivate another.  I think this is a fascinating part of the industry and the wide variation in "buyer" motivation drives the vast disparity in pricing.

As a relatively new hobbyist, I don't see myself ever parting with any number with 3 zeros after it.  But my motivation/desire/disposable income may change such that what I once thought unthinkable becomes routine.  The one part of economic theory that will always apply however is that in any transaction you normally have a willing buyer and a willing seller, both of whom believe they are receiving good value in the exchange.

he worst combination is a beautiful lady with low rates.  This will likely mean that she is hosting 5+ gents per day

Well, I can't speak for every individual...no. Unfortunately. However, reviews and research of your own can probably answer your question.
