What Ryann's travel schedule tells you, though
[QUOTE=HoHunter2;5550115]What we have realize is that she is making significantly more with her new price structure while taking much less dick. She has repeat guys at her travel cities that have no issues paying her rate or more. Some fellows get multi hours. I have fucked her at much lower rates awhile back but have tapped out at the the recent increase. My decision is not based on affordability or even her value but rather the other options. Rather pay more for new pussy than for one that I have enjoyed multiple times. Other guys like the comfort that comes with banging a regular.[/QUOTE]Let's begin with an acknowledgement that just as the general economy is having some supply chain issues, so is the hobby economy. Two of my favorite agencies, Discreet Desires and Fantasys, were put out of business by COVID. They haven't come back. (Well, DD is *trying* to come back, but they have no girls at present.) Lots of the good indies disappeared, too.
Right now you're getting less and paying more, whether you're seeing high-end girls from Eros, low-end girls from the crawler sites, or sugar babies on Seeking.
There is no way Ryann was a $450 girl pre-COVID. Right now, she is cashing in (ie, price gouging). That's her right to do, 100%.
But (and this is important) Ryann does not have that travel schedule because she wants to see Minneapolis or King-of-Prussia, PA going into cold weather. She's traveling because, even in this market, she isn't getting the number of $450 appointments she would prefer in her home city.
Travel right now sucks, with high gas prices, more semis on the road than ever, and lingering mask rules in many states.
I seriously doubt she's making more money on the road than she would be making if she stayed home, and charged a reasonable rate, which in her case would be $300.
(Also, she does not do outcalls, which is a deal-breaker for me, because I don't do hotels. Period.).
I have never met Ryann, but I get the impression that she has an attitude. Not attitude as in "crazy", but as in "a chip on her shoulder".
She almost certainly felt she was undervalued during the EE / Steve days. Probably she was. She was always a solid $250 to $300 girl. But now she's overestimating her worth, IMO, and her ego is overriding her business sense.
