Now, Shannon can set any price she wants as its her choice but whether she'll have a sustained and reliable following is another matter. I have no doubt that there will be people paying $500 to see her, whether they were former clients, new clients, or just don't care or know better. Personally, I did a double take at the price and will not be seeing her. I did see her at $280 and $300 and while it was good, it's not $500 good. If she had reemerged in another space that was more commensurate to the price, say PD, and shed her kgirl past and focused more as an Asian courtesan I think she would have been better received. IMO, I believe she is just capitalizing on the current lack of quality kgirl inventory before travel restrictions ease.
She has the right to charge whatever she wants, and clients have the right to pay it. However, I think advertising that rate openly on a mainstream agency's site is problematic because it is exorbitantly above the market norm. If she's to use the booker's services, the price should be communicated upon inquiry, not on the site. Even more appropriately, she should go independent and advertise on PDs, Eros, and HX, and build her own site.

High tier pornstar body. Very toned and athletic, fake tits from what I can remember. Face had too much work done for my taste. Service was okay. I could see paying 300 but not close to 500 when I can see two BBFS girls for almost the same price. Stella and Cari are worth the extra for GFE.
Just my opinion.
Hope it doesn't become a new standard. If not I might be priced out or move on to another scene.
I concur, not worth 500. Body is great but face is just avg to me. YMMV but cari, stella much better at lower cost.

Or its just a scheme by bookers trying to inflate price. Sweetasiangem is known to play b&s games so their credibility is well known in the trickery department.

Probably bookers trying to inflate the prices with a scheme.

It's not so much that she was better than anyone else, but that she can hold her own when compared to heavy hitters at the time (Chloe, Reah, Megan, Stella, Rebecca, Gi-L, etc.). As such she garnered a good following and can afford to command a higher price. Contemporaneous legends did that too but (speculating here) I think the agencies reigned in how much to not alienate and antagonize the rest of their roster. But now with crazy a la carte pricing being what they are, I think it's become more of a free for all. Bottom line: it's your money, see her if you like what you saw and got from her previously and consider $500 to be worth it. Personally, I don't.

She said it was to weed out the less desirables. Would be interested to know what she looks like and what happened with her 'retirement'. She had a pretty good setup for what I understand.
All hail the Queen. She is definitely special in the game.
Weeding out less desirables at a $20 difference is just a silly excuse for her. For one, it's a petty amount. In addition, she can easily just let the booker know to BL them (and she has) from seeing her. She was just pushing the envelope to see how much more she can charge. It's GPS, pure and simple. Now she has wised up incorporating both weeding out and maximizing what she can earn at the $500 price point. Given her track record, it'll give her a better chance at finding the next suitable sugar daddy.

Shannon is not better at all, I had seen her years ago and her service sucks she has GPS, but her looks are a solid 8 but in my honest opinion she is worth 250 an hour tops.

It's not because Shannon can command $500/ hr that the whole market will bear that price point.
With SAG only posting a single picture, Shannon seems to be marketing to her loyal customers. I expected her to get booked up quickly upon her return but who knows how many weeks that will last. When Rebecca upped her fee to $350/ hr she told me she attracted fewer customers per day but was ok with the trade off. Personally I stopped seeing her despite our history because she just wasn't worth that price to me anymore. I would have kept seeing Chloe for $350 though and will definitely revisit Shannon at $500/ hr at least once and take it from there.

She looks like a Baywatch babe.
