Snooky, I hope I'm not one of those that is driving you away. I know I can ramble on just a little bit sometimes
, dominate the discussion or be argumentative
, and can sometimes get testy with people. But I usually try to make newbies feel welcome, give them the benefit of the doubt and answer all their questions.
I do feel more of the board should be reserved for paid members but certainly not all of it. Part of the board's mission is to educate broadly (e.g. NO CIEN) and having info freely available helps accomplish that. But after a visitor has had a chance to explore the free areas and has gotten an idea of the value of the information here, they should be encouraged to chip in the modest fee as a token of their appreciation for all they've gotten out of the board. Having even more information available to paid members is one way to accomplish that. If you think charging that small fee will stand in the way of attracting fresh blood, take a look around, nearly all of the people that post are VIP members anyway.
As for the grilling that some vets give some newbies, I think it is over the top sometimes too, but the admin is right it is just the way some people are going to be in any large group. This board is far more amicable than the last board was. There is no outright flaming. Sure there may be something of an inner club of longtime vets and regular posters as there is on most boards, but it is not a club that is really that hard to get into. Some of the most popular guys on this board are relatively new CR visitors (JohnnyBlack for example). Some newbies get put through their paces. Some can't take the heat and get driven off. Some just take it in stride or put up with it and write it off as a fairly small price to pay for all the info available here. Some take a while to learn the ropes but stick it out and eventually make it (Coqui). Some learn to fit in fairly quickly (as Dailton seems to be doing). And, yes, some really are jerks and deserve to be driven off (I won't mention any names).
But lets get back to the original subject:

I do think I should define my question a little better, first can I get a BL or KL girl for 30 minutes for $30-$60 and a all-nighter for $70-$80, or what about the price of two or more ticas, are there any benefits in a package deal. I have seen the pictures out here and I have heard stories and it looks like, from my point of view getting 2 ticas or more is happening right and left, I was wondering if anyone knows the going rate for an all-nighter? I am also counting on going in the down season will help too, but let me know what you think?
Thanks again to everyone who posted your thoughts were most helpful!!
First let me say, I really respect the way you've handled all this criticism and the respectful and polite manner of your posts. Your editing definitely improves your posts. Thank you for adjusting for all us sticklers.
In answer to your questions: Yes, Yes, Yes, it all depends on your negotiating skills, and it depends. 30 for $30 is certainly possible as everything is negotiable including the time. I'm guessing most girls would readily go for 30 for $60, since most are normally willing to do a whole hour for that much. You should be able to get them down below that. Of course, if you want to go for 30 minute sessions, your best bet may be to go to certain MP's that offer that option for even less than the amounts you're talking about. As for "a all-nighter", (BTW, its a
n all-nighter
) $70-80 is also certainly possible. Again it all depends on your negotiation skills.
The same applies to the sort of package deal you referred to. Its all in the negotiating, but it is possible to get the chicas to agree to a lesser amount than what they would normally charge for seperate individual sessions since they get to split the workload a little. The key thing with such sessions is to pick your chica and let her choose the second girl (subject to your approval of course). The reason for this is that you're more likely to negotiate a better rate if she can work with a friend, but also because using compatible girls makes for a better session.
Finally as for off season, it helps but not as much as you might think. Eco-tourism drops off because it is so hot and rainy and hotel and other prices reflect that but "mongering" is a year round indoor sport. The guys that come in both the summer and winter tend somewhat more to be the better informed regular CR visitors that know not to overpay, while newbies come more during the winter vacation months, but that is far from 100%. There are fewer guys at the BM but also somewhat fewer girls because of that, so it is all something of a wash. This is particular question is hard to answer and others may have a different take on it.
