slowly raises hand in the back
[QUOTE=WalterKovacs;4743454]I've had top notch K Girls 200/220 for HH and 260 for HR. But 300 an HR is outrageous if I'm giving up the personal info they're requested.
AsianGems is a joke.[/QUOTE]To give an opposing argument on AG, I'd respectfully point out that I've had nothing but fantastic service from those 4 visits within the last 8 months. For starters, I'm accustomed to paying 300 / hr to most pros back when I lived near Atlanta years ago. That city was where I first dipped my feet into the hobby, experienced great times, learned from the bad ones, and began participating in the ter forums back then (which is definitely a shell of its former self today, IMO). When I first moved to this region, I saw that many of the rates which were the norm in Atlanta were near identical here in DC & NOVA. And after moving away then returning again recently, the mongering scene hadn't really changed all that much. Except the number of cashless apps that were created with some providers requesting payment through that instead (which is a hell no from me). Ultimately, 300 / hr was what I accepted as the norm from pros when first starting out years ago. Now there's obviously some who aren't worth that price and I have refused service before it began if that provider were sticking to their guns. Personally, 300 is often my personal ceiling.
As for AG's screening process, I'll readily admit they ask for a lot and I very nearly gave up on them. After some back and forth, I forwarded some heavily redacted screenshots of my stuff that essentially showed my face, first name, and zip code. When asking about my work info, my easy bypass was to just email them from an old business account which was never revoked & doesn't include my name in the address. For the credit card bit, I blurred out everything (especially the indentations) except my first name and the Visa logo. Basically, my info looked like what the government would pull off to the public if they were ever forced to release shit about Area 51!. Now the hard part? Getting the booker to even review the stuff I had just sent. I forget how long it was, but it was over a month (possibly two) and I nearly threw in the towel after 6+ emails. Finally, I got a text saying I was golden and that I could start booking whenever. Since then, I've seen four of their providers and all were a great time. Hell, this agency was so accommodating that they booked me on 30 minutes notice after my SB stood me up.
Bottom line: the agency can be wonky at times. The booker definitely has issues about answering in a timely manner, and all the info requested is way too personal. However, there's ways around it and actions which you can take to minimize risk if you were adamant about utilizing their services. And if they're still not your cup of tea or you don't approve of even the edited info which I forked over, that's okay too. As someone mentioned earlier, there's plenty of providers & agencies out there. Some will offer services for 260, some for 200, some for a bottle of coke. It's all about what the consumer / hobbyist (you) is comfortable with sharing & paying.
Hope you all are staying safe out there and wishing everyone the best this week. Cheers, all!
Always one step behind Dimples. LOL
[QUOTE=Dimples572;4742883]Decided to book an appointment was quoted $320 for bbfscip, knocked on the door and girl that answered was probably 30+ and NOT cute, pickett fence teeth so I said no thanks and walked out. Not even close to the "real" pic of the girl that I asked them to send me prior to me leaving my house.[/QUOTE]Jeez dude, I feel like you are always a few days ahead of me, sucks for me. LOL I also contacted this place and they said 320 for an hour, BBFSCIP, then I asked how many rounds I get and the handler said ONE. I told her "No thanks". F that!
