[QUOTE=HolyStone1975;5375787]I think this is the cause and not the 'free money' people are thinking. In normal times, an SA girl could likely count on 2-3 guys a week to meet her, at 200-300 a pop, that could be as much as 900 a week. Well, with the pandemic cutting in to the budgets of so many people, not as many guys are willing to do this regularly so if the girls are used to 600-900 a week coming in to cover their bills, they are going to try and get it from one guy instead of hoping the others come through. The other thing with Vegas is that so many of the SA / WYP girls counted on guys from out of town to help their income and for the last year, that wasn't happening.
Two girls I would say I am friendly with off the site have told me they have increased their 'asking price' because there were just not the visitors in town to count on a steady flow of cash. Both could easily get 500-600 an hour if they traveled but they both have kids so they live in Vegas. They used to only ask for 300 an hour because they knew they could fill their schedule and get to pick and choose the guys they wanted to see. One of them admitted she quit her regular job early in 2019 because she was making 1500 a day off regulars. Either Vegas locals or regular travelers. She told me she never had to see anyone new. Last time I talked to her was about 3 weeks ago and she was contemplating getting back on SA because a lot of her travelers aren't coming to Vegas until later in the year and all the locals are trying to low ball her with 100-150 an hour offers.[/QUOTE]1500 a day? Man even at 300 an hour that's a lot of hoeing around!

They're asking for more because they're finding guys that will pay more, for whatever reason. If there are fewer guys around with money, prices will go down. Why? Because that's how markets work. Find me one real-world example where the as the client-base shrinks the supplier can hike the price. It simply doesn't work like that.
Never take the word of a hoe at face value. They all live in a fantasy world of their own making.

The only reason they are asking for more $$$ is because some suckers are paying it and skewing the market. Until these suckers either stop or run out of $$ prices are not going down. If you don't like the price, don't pay it.

If the market doesn't react positively to higher prices (meaning some suckers are willing to pay the higher price) then the price increase falls flat and demand for services drops.
Simple economics dictated by the market itself.

But even for the ones in their 20's, I refuse to pay anything over $350, which quite frankly for me was a one time occasion for a real hottie. My general range is 150 up to 250 at the high end, with the occasional 100 price point. If everyone else refuses to pay the premium prices, the GPS will subside for most of them.

I'm not having great luck with my 3rd stint as a paid member on SA.
I thought this one would be a gem. Very cute, little chubby but she loves rough sex and was fine taking it bare.
Set up a 5 hour date with her in a few days and I'm REALLY glad I texted her this morning because she admitted she isn't taking birth control. Happy she was honest with me, disappointed and somewhat surprised that she wants to take the risk of getting knocked up.
Not going to say to avoid this one because she's really cute (in my opinion) and I'm sure other BM's would have fun with her, but just be cautious when she says she's fine with taking it bare.[/QUOTE]Was she an emo girl?
Trying to set something up for next week with some of these ladies and wanted to see if anyone has had any luck? I can help wi the Phoenix Sugar Babies. PM me.

Simple economics dictated by the market itself.[/QUOTE]It's pretty simply if you think about it.
If you sell something at 200 and get 15 sales, you won't make as much money as 10 sales at 400. Simple math. In general, the 'market' will price itself toward the optimum price to make the most money. The main thing is trying to find said price can be very difficult. I can very much see a less-educated person setting their own prices not thinking about the concept of lowering prices to try and draw them in but rather raising them to try and make up for it.
It might be working, it might not. Unless we know the actual numbers, none of us are in a position to say.
But there's also two more factors to consider. First off since these are individuals doing a job, there's always their personal biases and perceptions that can skew how they think of certain prices. Combine this with the fact that even if they end up with slightly less money, it might just be worth it for the less overall work they have to do. Wouldn't you rather spend 10 hours instead of 15 to make the same amount of money?

The market prices itself to where a willing seller and a willing buyer are in agreement. In other words, a seller can set whatever price they want. Without a willing buyer, there will be no sales. On the flip side, a buyer can set whatever price they are willing to pay, but unless a seller is willing to sell for that price, no sale.
Your example of working 10 hours to make more money than working 15 hours is a place every seller wants to be. However, without a willing buyer, it doesn't put food on the table or more likely cover their bad habits.
Again, as long as some suckers are willing to pay the price, the "sellers" will keep their prices up.

While Supply and Demand is indeed a core principle of ECO101 reality often goes much deeper than that. ECO201,301, 401 combined with Mktg 101 to 401, Sales 101 to 401 and Socio Economic study reveals things ain't always as simple as they may seem to a wide eyed Freshman. Add to that unique and sometimes hidden market pressures and influences like Impulse and Thinking with Little Head and all bets are out the window.

That is why a high class escort can demand $1,000 or more per encounter.
A common street ho only has her skills and attitude to differentiate. Most dudes have no idea what performance will be like unless they have previously seen her or they have received reliable intel.
So when every girl on SA and every street ho suddenly increases their prices, with no other change in individual performance or sales technique, it is because some people are willing buyers at that higher price point. If no one agrees to pay the higher price point, prices come down.
