Money For Nothing, Chicks for Free
[QUOTE=Steve9696;2256731]I take exception with those that say guys like me are ruining the market. There is no such thing as ruining the market. There is only the market itself. Prices will sort themselves naturally based on supply and demand.[/QUOTE]Look, you and others can pay what you want, and you must decide value. Time pressure plays big role. But, since law change (which we now know is silly and not enforced) girls take advantage. Big picture is this. Look at multiple websites in Berlin -bordello home pages, kaufmich, Berlin intim etc. And you will find well over 3000 girls working here. They charge about 140 ish for a fine hour with most extras. That is competitive market price now in Berlin. For years, Artemis prices were about this level. (To be fair, prices for girls both in and outside A in Berlin have changed little in over 15 years so with some (very) slight inflation maybe 5-10% would be reasonable).
Since new law (which has not changed prices in "outside" Berlin market at all) some Artemis girls seem to be getting away with almost double this, if you include portion of 80 Eur entrance fee. They do this because conditions inside distort market which means some ideal notion of simple supply and demand do not work. An incomplete list. Imperfect, asymmetric information; barriers to entry and exit; oligopoly, collusion, poor enforcement of contract; too many buyers chasing too few sellers; and and and (sounds like conditions for Trump company). There is story that during a Logistics Messe, crowding was so bad and girls so scarce inside that they were able to charge 200 for 30 minutes and guys were paying. Management was not happy.
This fancy way of saying many factors make mongers buying power now severely limited inside house. But bottom line (literally) is. Men are accepting this when even within 500 meters (Prestige) they need not. For what some are paying you could have 2 girls (1 hour each with full extras) outside, meal at decent restaurant, spend all day at Europa Center Thermal Bath for swimming, jacuzzi, sauna, or even few hours at Vibali Spa, for far less money. And as TeddyBears says, such expensive girls are likely to be bad experience. While in London or Moscow or USA you can of course spend a lot more, the Berlin market is less. People need to understand this as it seems they are ruining it in Artemis, where really girls are nothing special-certainly not compared to outside Berlin with thousands (or at least hundreds) of comparable choices.
So Artemis market seems to be becoming distorted compared to far larger Berlin market, with comparable experiences. But only because mongers tolerate this.
At some point, word will get out and things may settle back a little to where they should be. But you do need to be prepared to refuse crazy high prices. What seems to have happened is many are not. It is a choice and if you are patient, polite, flexible, and decent, you can find enough alternatives inside Artemis who will give a very good time for reasonable price.
Artemis vs. Frankfurt clubs.
Request for comments. Some people take the position that Artemis gives a lesser service than the Frankfurt FKK clubs because Artemis is the only business of its kind in Berlin. What are your opinions? My view is that the lack of competition in Berlin makes for lesser quality. Artemis is heavily dependent on tourist that will never return. The local guys are a minority and they know which females to be with.
