Yet another blog entry of
a post i made on FIA.
Now you may expect it to be a highly defensive post justifying what privates charge. It's not. I'm not sure how to describe what it is in a general sense, but it is quite long. I rate this entry as being my $1.87 not just 2c.

I just read through the topic, then had to scroll back to check what i was actually commenting on.
Ahh yes price variations. All price variations occur due to local market pressures and customer perception balanced by expenses and commitment. Within the extremes of these viable business balances the prices will be spread - and at a guess maybe even in a normal distribution (though i dont have region by region specific data to do this with, but if someone wants to run through FIA and make me up a map and price chart i will do the analysis)
Being more experienced in the Sydney business environment I shall comment from the NSW law perspective- ie brothels and privates offering incalls.
Brothel Charges per hour range from $160 - $310 - average guesstimate $220
(last brothel i worked at as the lower and stiletto as higher)
Private Charges per hour range from $200 - $800+ - average guesstimate $320
(general gut feel from looking around and ignoring some outliers)
So yep I agree Privates more expensive overall and on average than inhouse ladies. Now i could go on a defensive rant as to why, variation of expenses etc and justify pricing - but i wont, its been done before. Though the topic started as a question as to if prices differed - it seemed to merge into a how are the ladies better and/or any different from one to another.
Simple fact - they aren't. Girls are girls and they all range in size. looks, attitude and service.
From cheaper houses to more expensive ones you'll find the full range - though they may just be in formal wear at the more expensive establishments. The variation is in the house and what proportion of good ladies they can attract and keep, whilst maintaining the customer flow with advertising and environment. Swishy premises attract guys with wallets but they detract those watching the budget, but many are happy to shop around to find that gem which catches their fancy even if it isn't in the fanciest shop. I find most guys are happy if the place is clean and well yeh, clean.
Privates have the same range of girls in houses but also from those who enjoy it and put in 100% and care about their business, to those just looking for some quick dollars with no one taking any cut. The thing is that with privates especially price and quality don't always match up - depending on what you call quality as well. For some quality is supermodel looks, for some it is superior service, and for some its the range of services. Many it seems however are just looking for a good balance of these within their budget.
The tricky thing with privates is estimating what is the quality vs cost. It's not like a brothel you can walk in, tramp around, check out the ladies, have a chat and just walk out no worries. All you have to go on is impressions through advertising media primarily. You have ad's in papers and the internet, websites, business cards and price (humans cant ignore the perception higher price equals quality and low prices must indicate something dodgy). So you whittle down your list from these deciding where you think value lies, whittling out too good to be true photos and agencies posing as privates. You hit the phone as the researching continues - asking all the questions you couldn't find answered elsewhere, asking some again just to check the girl has her facts straight, making a judgement on her personality and attitude over the phone - is she genuine or just having a good phone manner, is it her or just a receptionist pretending, does yeh no problems mean she really will do the service she just agreed to in the room? Further your list dwindles - back to the internet you check sites like FIA, hookerlooker, SDU and any others you can find - looking for good reviews, bad reviews or anything in between. You recheck your list - prioritise based on quality and then on price and convenience and all matter of other personal preferences. Then you bide your time, watching the forums for any more clues, saving the cash, finding a suitable time. You ring your first choice to arrange a time - no answer, damn - you call another, not available, bugger - you can continue ringing around or just go to a house hmm - you jump in your car and head to the local knock shop.
Finding and getting to see a good private who suits you tastes is an effort and commendations to all the boys who make the effort
Private ladies get less customers than brothels - but still need a worthwhile income to manage overheads, advertising and all the extra time they have to spend working on their business besides in the room. They also can decide their price more freely as it only need to suit the one lady and create the right impression to her target customers. Ok a bit of price justification there but only from the setting it point of view.
How much a lady gets paid for her service after expenses are taken out - be it the house cut or her business expenses is in no way indicative of her value as a person, as a woman, or a service provider. The pay is simply what she is prepared to offer her services for and how many services a week she is prepared to do to meet her bills.
It is up to the client to make the best choice of where their hard earned will go, and it is an important choice as to the typical person a few hundred bucks is not something to be sneezed at. It's forums like FIA that help punters make the choice and vote with their feet to make sure only those operators who appreciate that what they are charging for an hour is at least a day or two's pay for the average guy and go to the necessary efforts to make sure he doesn't feel ripped off.
