Yeah when I still had regulars one shop increased their rate from $120/hr (2019) to $150 and then $170/hr for full service.
I still saw her at the increased prices but decreased my tips in proportion to the price increase, in line with my punting rules.
The price in a massage parlour goes up and down everyday depending on business of the day.
In Burwood normally $175 for an hour of FS could go as low as $120 for half an hour of FS. Or sometimes as high as $250 for an hour of FS.
I wish there is a stock exchange of punting to check the latest going-ons.
Depends on the regular really. You gotta remember this is a business and she's got bills to pay just like the rest of us. If the quality stays the same or better then by all means pay a bit more
I've done the "look for a new girl in anger" shit when a girl's price goes up. In short, I learnt that it's usually a bad move. Do the numbers. How much more can a girl's price go up? 20%? Let's say it goes up a ginormous 40%. You go take a punt on a new girl and she turns out to be a dud. That's a 100% loss on the new girls rate, vs a probably good punt on the regular (even more likely because she's getting more $$$) paying 40% more. Not to mention the time factor... a dud punt is a waste of your time too.
You might get lucky that the new girl is good, but what are the chances of that happening at exactly when you want it to happen?
