no one complains when they get what they pay for because its so very RARE to actually get your moneys worth, lol.
That comment concerns me. I have a hard time believing that it is "so very RARE" that guys get their money worth; otherwise I'd have expected a great deal more complaints.
I wonder what formula the ladies and agencies in the business use to determine what is fair (considering all expenses, including the fact that the facility is an overhead cost 24/7 but does not earn 24/7 so what may be assumed to be reasonable in the client's mind as far as overhead is concerned, may actually be 3 or 4 times that amount - of course there is a breakeven point and above that is much more pure profit).
I wonder what formula the consumers of these services would use to determine what they feel is fair (considering the comparables both inside the market and outside the market as well as alternative services and the costs for them, the availability of services, quality of services, assumed overhead, etc.).
I expect that consumers may assign a value for the services somewhat less than the providers will provide them for and if they thought it appropriate to some might try and negotiate, however at the end of the day it is like real estate - "the value is whatever the market will bear" and it appears that the market in KW, for both independents and agency ladies, supports 120/hh and about 150-180/HR and anyone providing services below that threshold is either a semipro with introductory rates or a bargain or a knockoff (or... gasp... B&S).
Anyhow, just thinking out loud.
