Before all the bullshit took over this was a good thread and a very valid point.

WHAT IS FAIR ?

Since I’m kinda stuck in the West for work and home I don’t have access to all the regular shops that are spoken about so regularly on here.

In saying that it’s kind of a burgeoning market out here and at time I find negotiating power is a bit more fair out here.

I’ve always operated on $60 for the massage and $40 for HJ finish. My experience is that will get a raft of experiences from the average massage and mechanical finish all the way to an exception massage to nude finish with touching and anything in between.

Lately I find the silent treatment works with text or message enquiries if I don’t like the price

I was enquiring via text with a girl in Redbank and I asked what rates she had, she came back with a $100 for hr massage and hand relief. I decided I wasn’t that hard up and left it at that with no reply, Half hour later another message came through and she offered me a discount down to $90. I countered with $80 and said that I would be over in a jiffy. Good massage and endin was great, I even patted her on the back for the price drop and told her that prices had gotten I but out of hand which she agreed.

If your area is saturated with shops I guess they are fighting for business. If it’s an established shop with regulars I guess they push to see how much people will pay before walking and other shops follow suit, and if your area is only getting the odd shop pop up then I guess prices will be low to start to draw people in.

I agree with brownwallaby when he says that if you break down what service you actually get and what you pay, you begin to rethink how much money you are prepared to part with.

Since moving back to Brisbane beginning of the year o have been doing the rounds and testing old shops new shops and private ML’s and while the strike rate is 50/50 price quality and location, price is the big decider when it come to feeling as though I got value for money.
