Incremental Revenue

4/9/2013 5:44:57 AM

I don't like to haggle. I'm willing to pay the going price for goods and services, whether at the department store or the strip club. But occasionally I'll try to get a bargain.

Yesterday at the club I was getting a BJ from a dancer I know at the usual price. I knew FS would cost $100 more, so as an experiment I offerred $50. Maybe I would get a deal! But she flatly refused.

It seems to me that the stripper was being irrational. She passed up $50 of incremental revenue. It would have all been pure profit to her since she would not have any incremental costs associated with the revenue. And the job (so to speak) would not have taken any longer. It might even have been over sooner.

Why wouldn't the stripper grab the incremental revenue?

Well there is a higher chance if transmitting STDs with FS versus BJ, so that is one rational explanation. I'll come back with more if others don't post them first although I imagine the board will be all over this topic.

"I'm not a cheap whore. My pussy is worth more than an extra $50".

You wanted to stick your dick in her for $50 and you are confused as to why she said no? LOL.

Like any service, a provider needs to hold the line on the minimum value of the service. Once you drop the price down for one person, the LCD effect starts to kick in and others start expecting it for the same price. Sure she might sell more if she gave it up for $50, but does she want to do 8 guys for $50 in a night or 4 guys for $100?

Only on tuscl. ;)

Yeah, it's worth $100! $100 is high priced. $50 is cheap.

@rickdugan- I think Jackslash is saying he wanted to stick his dick in her for 50 bucks more than what he was paying for the BJ. I imagine he was at least paying 100 bucks for the BJ.

Yeah, Ricky's math isn't too good. A couple of other things - How does it follow that if she did FS, in this case, for an extra $50 as an add on that means she has to do it for $50 when it's not an add-on. Also if she did charge one guy $50 once, how does it follow she would always have to charge every guy $50 after that. RickyBoy not the best analytical thinker out there.

Word does go around sometimes, so I could see charging one guy $x resulting in that becoming the 'new' price.

More like word gets around once that is her new established price, not as the result of a "one off".

I was getting a BJ for the usual price, and offered her an extra $2 for FS. Oddly, she took a pass on the opportunity for more profit.

Well, Jack; maybe the girls offering "bargains", should sit around with a revolving blue light in their lap. Lol!

I tipped a stripper a buck at the stage and told her I'd give her a Tic Tac if she let me fuck her. She told me she never does it for less than $1 plus two Tic Tacs. Irrational bimbo.

Why do you dislike to haggle?

I have a guess based on your membership here.

@ranukam: Point taken - I read it too quickly it seems. The overall premise remains, however, which is that she did not want to give it up for that little.

And so-called "one-offs" are often the first step to permanent devaluation. Not only can word indeed travel, but taking short $$$ erodes one's own discipline and can lead one to quickly grabbing the short cash even when the better money could be had. Net-net, it is a slippery slope once one starts accepting less for the same service.

Heard recently at club: "Discount in VIP on FS...50% off, errr, to get you off".

I'm not sure word does get around. I don't know how some of you homos roll, but when I go into a club, I am not asking other guys "hey, how much does that blond who just off stage charge for FS assuming you start with a BJ from her first"?

I think the further one â€œincrementallyâ€ goes up the â€œextrasâ€ food chain â€“ the more hesitant many dancer become and the # of dancers may start dwindling down; i.e.:

+ some dancers may just do air or very little friction dances
+ some dancers allow a lot of two-way LDs but only go as far at that
+ some dancers will do Hiss and stop at that
+ some dancers will only go as far as CBJ
Etc.

Most dancers may have their limits of what they are willing to do or feel comfortable doing and will only go past their limits if there is a good payoff involved.

Just my 2 cents.

@ Jack:

I think your dancer is an economics major in college.

Interview the low self esteem strippers ahead of time. They are always cheaper.
