Richmond market overpriced
I completely agree. I usually hunt in the northern VA or Baltimore market but have been doing some local Richmond hunting off and on due to a job assignment that brings me here often. I have run into some real GPS horror stories and continue to lose good Potentials due to high demand in this market area. I think we all run into this no matter where we live, but my opinion is that this forum may be part of the problem. Don't get me wrong, I love this site and have learned techniques that I would have spent years and years perfecting and probably never would have figured them out on my own. But its my opinion that the location of this thread being RVA has brought much more attention to the sport here than elsewhere, and that we have more SDs per capita, which is causing high levels of inflation locally.
I could be wrong, but I have had several outright turn-downs even at the 300 level, which is about double what I'm truly comfortable with paying. I'm encountering mid-quality SBs that just laugh at offers in the $$ or less range, and have received several quotes asking for 500 and above. The AA market here is a little more reasonable, but trying to get an 8 or above profile of any race to agree to less than 300 is getting tough. I can't help but thinking that I'm simply getting out-bid.
I just seem to have lost a mid-quality AA in her early 20's after a single successful visit to the FC. I thought I was being generous at the $$ level plus expenses, and she was very agreeable to making it a long term arrangement in the next few days of txting. But I noticed that she was still active on SA and has all of the sudden gone to complete radio silence. I'm pretty sure on this one that she has found a better deal elsewhere.
What is the average SD to do? Too late to go back to BP...I'm hooked on the chase of the SD world.
Alias.
[QUOTE=KingGreg;2070877]Well, Richmond and surrounding has been tough. SBs are demanding high allowance. Are there anyone recently found SBs, want to get opinion. Also, I met someone thought is good. But after getting phone number, google search found that she has been an escort. Damn...
Another VCU SB, high demand...initially agreed for 0.25 and then at the meet...she said it was just for dinner...LOL.[/QUOTE]
I'm getting what you mean now...

One good thing -- college tuition has been outrunning inflation for decades. [/QUOTE]I hope you know I meant nothing negative with my little wsj remark.
I never thought about how the continuing rise in college tuition affects us. Here's hoping for another tuition hike!
