Now that the cheap shops have lifted their prices, Artarmon 78/116 to $110/half hr
Riverwood 327a to $120/half

And with the Ginza ones still around $170-190/half

The prices are converging and the cheap ones aren’t really value for money anymore… are you guys getting the same feeling?

Yup I feel ya, I was stung the other week when I gave the girl $100 and she stood for a sec looking shocked. I thought I might of gave her 2 smaller notes than a $50. She then pointed at the new price list, it’s $120 now she said.

After that punt I did the math, now I’m $20 less that used to be my dinner 😭 I’m thinking the weekly visits may have to go to fortnightly now.

Cheap shop, does it mean the ladies are older, if it is, I think ginza or ginza empire is getting more value for money

Yeh you are right, the only thing about Ginza it is hard to get to for many.

The annoying part with the cheapie is the shops with tier level pricing around $180/30mins for the lot. Decent cheapie with one set price like Riverwood would be $180/hour for the lot, most wouldn’t CIM though. I had a look again and they only up the price for the 30mins option so the other way is book 45mins or an hour for better value.

Since the price hike I cook my pasta and bring it to the shop to eat there after the punt.

I eat it around the backdoor. Some massage girls come out to have a smoke and smile at me to see me there.

I used to get $130 for 30 minutes FS in Burwood. Used to punt there 3 times a week without hurting the wallet.

It's now $150. Still good value. The ladies are normally in their early 30s or late 20s.

8 Burwood? Looks like a Jap roster now.

Rising rents would be a major issue for these shops. Unscrupulous landlords possibly add a premium for this type of business.
