The 150/250 Cartel

So why do 99% of girls charge the same price? 150 for 30 mins, 250 for 60 mins. Tesco and Dunnes Stores have nothing on the price fixing going on on this site.

This a good question for the Good Ones of this forums, i.e. languirishing and bigmouth and westi, I am sure they all will provide you with the answer, as they know everything and I mean everything. So I am looking forward to be enlightened by their answers as they have got enough experience and they know the territory as nobody else. Let's them enlighten us with their insights :cool:

99% of ppl are quite happy in their confort zones and dont want to rock the boat.Thats why tesco is tesco and dunnes are dunnes.Thats why they got where they are.They stepped outside everyday convention and thought outside the box.

99% of pubs charge the same thing,takeaways, chinese etc etc it goes on and on.Likewise 99% of escorts just go with the flow.A few go outside of it.There attitude is "this is my body,my buisiness and my life and this is what i charge".I like that in a person, in particular a woman.

So to answer, lack of competition is nothing new in Ireland whether escorts or takeaways.

Id rather fail at something i love doing than succeed at something i hate doing,

That is total bollix. I could agree with you if all escorts provided an equal service but the shit escorts are charging as much as the good ones. Dunnes and Tesco sell the same goods so it is understandable their prices will be similar.

I would be more inclined to believe that this site puts some pressure, or suggests a price to the girls when they want to take out an ad.

Well why don't you tell us why most girls charge the same price. Can you tell us what % of girls in Dublin charge 250 per hour?

Pricewatch ?

Ah come on this is getting crazy. We complain about the inaccurracy of photos, the dirt of the premises, the non gfe experience, the false reviews , the agencies , the phone not being answered, the ass being too big ,tits being too small, OWO (or for that matter oral with) , anal as an extra , too nice , too rude , too polite, etc etc
For fucks sake do we have to complain about a possible conspiracy on the pricing ????????? Apologies for the use of the common vernacular but give me a fucking break. I mean really!!!!!!!

They charge 150/250 because it's the going rate, there is no "price fixing" going on.

If the going rate is 250, an escort is not going to charge 230 when she can easliy charge 250 is she?

and all this moaning about being ripped off- if you don't like the prices, just don't visit the escorts!!!

So the going rate is the going rate no matter what the quality? If you are providing a good service and charging 250 do you think someone else who is getting appalling reviews should be charging 250 also?

If a lady is getting appalling reviews I assume you wouldn't be making an appointment to see her, so why would you get your knickers in a twist about what she is charging?
If she halved her rates, would you be making a booking?
I have to agree, there is no 'price fixing' - When I first came to Dublin over 3 years ago, I looked around to see what the standard rate was. Something worth mentioning here is that the standard rate hasn't risen in that time either!

And Thats A Load Of Bollocks About Dunnes And Tesco's

You're talking complete shit PD1.

Well let me tell you this I walked up and down every fucking aisle in Dunnes and Tescos today and there is not a single fucking Escort for sale, never mind them being sold at the same fucking price.

You have to ask the girl on the information desk and slip her a score to get the info!

Rate hasn't risen cos it is too high already. Do a search on adultwork for UK and you will see a hugh range of prices from £50 an hour to as high as you will pay.

By the way, why do you (and so many other UK based escorts) come to Ireland for tours? The money must be pretty good to attract you. Better than you get in the UK?

Tesco Vs Dunnes

The problem is that there is no Aldi or Lidl in the escorting business here.
There are some girls who offer a "quickie" rate or "rub & tug" rate & these are options for the lower end of the market. Most of the escorts look for the same though & it's because they can.
I am sure most of these Czech & Slovenian girls work for agencies ......who set the rate. There has been an influx of Spanish ladies recently & I suspect likewise.
That's one for Patricia to tackle ????????? The upshot is though that there is huge choice out there & a huge difference in standards & service. Read the reviews & ask the hard questions over the phone about extras etc. My pet hate is the stealth charges ......... they've been taking lessons from our government. They advertise A, OWO etc. & don't list anything as "extra" & you get hit with this when you have your trollies around your ankles. I'll never visit one of these false advertisers twice.
