[QUOTE=HiKeke;7413039]Did she have an upcharge up in north?[/QUOTE]Naw. She was 300 all-in at LSC just last month. This may sound hard to believe, but the standard market rate in the Bay was still 280 all-in as recently as June 2024.
Believe it or not, there used to be only one agency in the Bay that allowed upcharging: GFE Investments. They even went so far as to justify their "Market Rate Adjustment" (MRA), allegedly to stay competitive with other markets. They didn't mention LA by name, but we all know where the competition lies.
Over time, a couple of other orgs in the Bay got in on the action. And yet LSC remains a standard bearer, thriving on all-in rates and high-volume regulars. That they have also exclusive girls doesn't mean much – that's the norm in the Bay.
BTW, looks like OG Jamie is currently listed as "on vacation" at GFEI. Her ad says, "The Original Jamie that made the name what it is. " And just like Baby Winter, she didn't upcharge in the Bay. Nope. She saved that honor for LA, when she pioneered upcharging in February 2020 – a watershed moment with real ripple effects.
