No, the price elasticity of demand for services is not inelastic.
[QUOTE=TheCornKing;2578550]In this case the "girls" are the market and the demand is Inelastic, in other words the want for their product (xxx) is so great that the price will not go down. The demand for the product will never fall, even if you try to manipulate the market by boycotting the product. A boycot will not work, same with the price on drugs, can drug addicts boycot or demand a lower price, neither can addicts of the girls product, hence the term inelastic, the demand curve is straight upward, if the girls decide to raise it to 300 hr, you would find a way to cover your need of the product. Tell me I'm wrong. What substitute is there?
Just my opinion.
And if you think about it, if you could get a date you would go to dinner, movie drinks. That's already 200 $. And will you get xxx, hmmmm even if you do, now you have someone calling you up and here is the kicker after you have xxx she wants to Stay.[/QUOTE]I respectfully disagree. The same thing used to be said about oil and petrol prices, but that's clearly not the case.
We've all seen the 'run' on a girl who's got what seems to be an absurdly low price. And if the demand were inelastic, the prices would be over $300.
Would a boycott lower the prices? Hard to say. Some girls do this for extra money, for others it's all they do, and for some it's one of many things they'll do in order to feed their nasty drug habit.
My guess is that a discussion with a provider about pricing and repeat business will yield more results than a boycott.
The market is defined in Long term
[QUOTE=TheGull;2579156]Most of these girls are doing this to cover the cost of meds, the thing is they need the meds more then the monger needs them. Since they have no clue how to stash some cash for a rainy day they often need to make some money quick. They need to pay for a room and their meds. When they haven't been getting calls they will drop prices. We all know that. Don't think for one minute they won't go to 40 or 30 when they are in need. I'm not saying it will be like that all day but the first one to catch them before they can get what they need for a few hrs get's a real bargain if he tries.[/QUOTE]I know there are always coupons, but that is not the Market. I was replying to a gent that was thinking we set the price not the girls. I can not for one minute understand that logic. Yes, oh yes I say, there will be the few that need there car fixed or Meds but that is not in Amy way "the market". Just a few isolated instances.
Don't really want to give the producers of the product any ideas, just saying how I see things working.
I sticj to that we can set the price

I say no more than 100 and the majority agree. The other ones come back I am not a cheep & So I came back and say this is my budget that my big head keeps my little head in check with and say I will just move on another provider. At this point 70% of the remaining 30% give in to the 100 rate. THe ones that stay strong at 150+ I just pass on. There are a lot of nice girls out there. Every so often if it is a girl that really catches my eye and is staying in an upscale hotel I will go to 120 hh but that is a rare day.
