Its a pretty negative reply Phoebe, no one should question a business prices, do you do so when you buy a hamburger?
How come prices are going up everywhere?

Solicitors Vs WLs - seemingly very different professions used to establish a common price.
Solicitors are generally one of the most disliked professions due to their greed for money and taking on cases where they will still win financially whether or not they win their case - people try to avoid using them at all costs.
If they pay the best it's because they seriously NEED them (and can afford the best).
WLs, on the other hand, despite being scorned at by many non-WLs, are sought after for pleasure - people try to avoid using their service but still do so due to its convenience (among other reasons). If they pay the best it's because they seriously WANT them (and can afford the best).
Put the two together suggests that the WLs main client focus is the solicitor. Screw the solicitors and get some back since they screw everyone else. Or is it a common price since both professions get to screw their clients?
(No offense intended to either professional).

Getting back on track, I don't think prices are going up everywhere at all, in fact in real terms most products are going down, possibly with the exception of mobile phones and housing in the Eastern States.
So if you buy a Camry it will cost pretty much the same price as a few years ago, but inflation has driven up your salary in many jobs, so it's cheaper. Having just sold my home for 20% below an offer we had a few years ago, I can tell you house prices in Perth are very soft. We also bought about 15% cheaper. We are also struggling to sell another property at a price of 10% above what was paid 6 years ago.
Then there are services which are more relevant. As the market changes the services and value offered keeps moving so it's very hard to pin this down, but any successful business needs to know what the customer is looking for, over deliver on their promises and be competitive with the market. Plenty of bell curve analysis to tell you where you can be on the price vs quantity of customers.

I do. I'll quite happily pay much more for a hamburger from a business that is struggling than paying for one from a business that I know continues to charge increasingly exorbitant prices and make huge profits "because they can". I have a list small list of "too greedy" restaurants that I do not patronage or promote out of principle.
Mr Little are you having a dig at me, I am the first person to buy local, I went down to a local smoke shop the other day in Darwin to buy my weekly cartoon rather than Woolworths and was surprised to find they sell cigarettes cheaper than Woolworths, I went their to support the small guy and in return saved money.
Solicitors like all industries have rip off merchants but I have found generally they are very caring people and need the high hourly rate to support their infrastructure, as does most business.
If your comment is directed to me please make a thread and post it on the Langtrees Of Perth Forum I will happily kick you butt. LOL.

I respect your reply Mary, however if Australia wants to become more Asian then can we adopt the Asian mentality of bartering please (keeping on track with the FTA with china)... I question every service I get even car services and on many many times I have been given serious discounts on this, I used to go back to Hotels in Australia as I travel alot these hotels refused to give me discounts now or anything else well they lost my business forever due to the silly Australian business models which are failing miserably, I travel globally and go back to same hotels I get a nice welcoming, thank you for coming back and we talk prices which are always lower, with free breakfasts or dinners included, thats what you call calling the customer king which in this place he or she is no longer treated like that, thats why I said we need a recession a deep one so the tables turn in Australia and the customer is king like he/she is in America, Asia and other places too.. The customer in Australia these days is treated with disdain and contempt that he/she will just hand over cash without question playing on the myth of the helping out a fellow mate and all the other aussie myths which are just that...
I bet your ladies that clients can not question prices I bet they question prices when they are not on shift, like we all do, I do not care about any business I am on this earth for myself and my wallet and my finances and no man or woman has ever gotten wealthy by paying out without questioning things, our new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull did not get his 200, Million Dollar wealth by not doing just that.....
Bring on a recession I say.

You mentioned hamburger. ...
I'm letting you know that, like you, I try to support the struggling businesses more than the rip off businesses.
Just like I don't use self service checkouts as I'd rather pay more and wait a little longer than cause one check out post to be lost and deny that spot to potential employee.
As for my butt. .. You'd swing and miss anyhow.
Thanks for the reply Mr Little I have so been looking forward to a run in with someone I am jumping the gun, so my apologies, the forum members that stayed with us are all so nice, I have been feeling like a little tyrst for a while and getting no bites. LOL
Phoebe the post is about prices not going to jail and not about solicitors.
By the way what is the difference between a solicitor and a hooker?
you will have to wait for the answer, or post it yourself.

We have had the same price for over 5 years, and one day the next increase will be $500 per hour. Courtesans are always prices around a solicitors price per hour, I will have to check but I believe a good solicitor is getting at least $500 per hour now days.[/quote]

I haven't done any research of your business so I don't have enough ammo to incite a run in between us ..... yet LOL
The main thing in your business is that the ladies are sufficiently well looked after coz after all they're the ones that sometimes do some unpleasant work.
Our policy is "if you can get it up we will try bloody hard to get it down"

Certain things are not going down in price, they are going down in quantity. Lots of products have been reduced in size. Ive noticed a drop in girls advertising privately. I think prices will go down to $250hr in the next couple of years. Houses have been over inflated by many things so many have over paid for their property, and if they go bust, lucky for us!
Not the "Customer comes 1st"
I see, I couldn't help myself Mary Jokes, sometimes you only get one chance.

I very much doubt this, once we have a value in mind taking less is more than most can swallow...so they spit.

As house prices come down then for many purchasers this will be offset by interest rates going back up.
If you buy for investment then rental returns will continue to reduce as interest rates go up.

"All because" of a mining boom, and what do we have to show for that? international companies are saying it was a failure for broader Australia, and it was squandered, but it helped a lot of nation building programs in cities like London, Zurich and others.....

Generally in Perth's substantial resource sector, which to a large degree underpins the demand side being discussed through this thread, there have been few, if any salary increases. In many cases there have been reduction ( ranging from a little to keep a job, to 100% if you haven't).
As MAK notes, this is a core driver for the flight of the $600-800 suppliers from the scene in Perth.

Squandered depends on how you look at it Phoebe.
It only seems that 'nothing good came of it' because those that weren't IN the boom were poorer because of it. I never worked in the mining industry. (well, I did way back in the late 90's when wages were shiite.) So my wage has remained relatively stable. So all I see is myself priced out of a lot of things. So I for one am glad the mining boom is over. And can only hope that prices reduce further.
Those that were in it had the OPPORTUNITY to save money and pay off mortgages cars and make investments. Doesn't necessarily mean that they did. And there were a LOT of people involved in that boom.
400 bucks for an hour? For me, there is no way I'm paying that much. But as long as there are people that will, LT's stays in business. For those that don't want to pay that, there is always the private operators. Or dating.
And apart from that. As someone who has employed people. I've learned is far easier to figure out a way to legally fire someone (or only hire them as a subby to start with) and hire someone else at a lower price point than it is to convince someone to take a pay cut once they've already got a raise.

"Oh my prices are too high? So how much would you charge? Imagine some guy would call you up, you don’t know for sure who he is and what he looks like, and offers you, say, 20 Euros for a blowjob. Would you do it? Not any specific guy, no, some guy. Best case scenario, he’s nice and attractive, worst case scenario he’s unattractive with questionable hygiene. Given the fact he just offered you a pittance and he’s trying to manipulate you into lowering your rate, he’s very likely not nice. But you have to commit to a price in advance. He might also give you an STI or become violent, possibly rob you, rape you, or murder you, as you are the member of a particularly vulnerable group of the population. Consider the risks. Consider the work involved. Not just the act, but letting someone into your home, offering them use of your facilities, getting dressed up, doing laundry after, risking damage to your property or conflict with the neighbours…
So how much? How much would YOU charge, dear Mr. Some Other People do it Cheaper and I am a Stingy A*****e? Probably much, MUCH more than you just offered me"

Prices are going up every where for the same reason that they have always - as the cost of living rises so does everything else! CPI is an annual increase that any one with control of budgets, P & Ls or accounting knows is added annually to every thing. Maybe we should start adding not just increased prices but CPI also. After all we already have GST, Im sure VAT will be here soon so lets make a real meal of it!! WL in FS or even massage offer some pretty amazing services to men that they may otherwise not (ever??!!) have access to, so lets not quibble over costs. I for one have found that arguing over the cost of fuel, bread and expecially luxury items ( I thnk WL fall in this catagory 
) falls on deaf ears! So enjoy the services of your chosen lady, think about the efforts that they go to in order to fullfill your desires and or fantasies and quietly praise the lord for WL and thats its not higher for what you have just or about to recieve!!!
