Reply With QuoteMaybe the new owner wants the other shops to follow his lead and increase the price. It's not going to work with the punters when there are many shops offering massages at a cheaper rate.
I'd noticed reports of a few girls leaving Good Fortune 888 massage, because they didn't like the new owner.
I used to go there quite a bit, and often liked it, so I thought I would go back today to check it out.
No sooner was I in the room than I figured out why the exodus.
The prices. It's now $90 an hour, up from $60.
OK, I figured, maybe that includes now something?
My girl, who knew where the conversation was headed because she had obviously had it many times before, laughed a little. Nope. $90 for the massage only, and any extras on top of that.
So I though, well maybe the extras are cheaper and it all sort of works out?
Nope again. A mere handjob with no B2B now costs $50.
She was willing to offer me a discount (doubtless taken out of her pocket, not the pocket of the new owner) but even so, an hour massage with B2B happy ending was going to be $150, roughly $35 above the market rate, and that's after the discount.
She didn't even bother arguing the case. She knew the prices were absurd. She just gave up and let me leave.
The new owner must be relying on customers who don't know the market. I for one won't be going back.
And on that note, does anyone know whether Angie from Good Fortune works/turned up anywhere else? She was great.

NTI............??
Agreed! Too many other shops to choose from.
it also seems that not all girls from there and riverwood decided to go to the Miranda shop. Too far I guess.Originally Posted by DrSeuss
Does anyone know if that shop has the same services as the other two?
yes,still 50tips b2b at miranda.
What's the one at Miranda?? Is it the 555 address, near the Kingsway or something?
yeah that's the one. Some girls gave part 3 when they were at the other shops, so maybe that's why they had to let the other shops go, don't know, just guessing
You see what prices your competitors charge?
I was confused when i went in after a while too...
saw a new girl...she was like you are a regular and charged me the standard $50 for 45 minutes and standard extras...
i went again on wednesday, saw tina....half hour $40, and standard $50 for a rushed extra ( i was the last customer of the day)...
gathering from what the girls tell me, the prices are set higher so it doesnt look like a "suss" massage store, and a more legit thai one?? (i know standard thai massage shops are slightly more than 40 bux for halfa)...
but yeah, speaking to a girl or 2 that have left the shop - they dont like the new owner
There are plenty of legitimate,strictly professional massage therapists that charge $100-120+/hour.
In my area there are cheaper options for 1 hour legitimate massage. But I avoid east and north sydney
I’d love to know where Iris has gone, she’s not on the Miranda roster
A typical argument that been going for years, AKA Lonely Heart vs Alunghor....
Even my punting brothers argue with me often: "You can't keep s straight price or the good young girls will be gone..." He was referring to one of the inner west shop that change their price to a all in model. I always stood by this though. An all in price give the punter certainty how much to spend.
The new owner can do what even they want and good luck to him/her. People that are close to the industry know how difficult the situation is right now and everyone is fighting with price.
Has anyone tried the new Miranda shop?? Any info/ experiences to share??
But I don't think that there would be too many R&T MLs who would come into that category.
My chiropractor charges $55 for a 10 minute or less session.
My comment was not referring to R&T. I was a reply to Ellison who said "Have a few legitimate massage businesses close to work, a proper massage with proper technique is never $90 an hour"
Council issues has resulted in standard service offering and limited ML earning potential.
I noticed for a while they took all their photos down from the massage888 site, but then they went up again so I figured their council issues were over.
The problem now is, the roster on the website is often nothing like the actual roster. That and the new pricing keep me away.
