Ignorance is not the right word
[QUOTE=Rio Bob]But unfortunately the price of bucetta is controlled by the powers of the free market of supply and demand and ignorance. If it's slow season and a girl gets 300 reais and she is no 10 then that is ignorance. If it's high season then it's a result of supply and demand.[/QUOTE]
I think that a better choice of words for "ignorance" is "I don't give a damn"! I think most of the people that overpay know what the going rate is. I believe they just don't care because
(a) they won't return for a long time so they might as well get what they want while they can - no matter what the price is;
(b) they want to impress people and feel like a big shot by spending a lot of money;
(c) it's the last night so they want to go out in style; or
(d) whatever.
Supply and demand overules all for price.
Whatever the reason for mongers overpaying if you want to pay normal rates for garotas you shouldn't have a problem. I think it's pointless stressing over what other mongers are doing because there's nothing you can do about it. But as long as the supply remains high and the demand remains low it will keep garota pricing in check. This is especially true in the low season. Even the number of mongers overpaying on a routine basis is low. A girl might be able to find one sucker to pay 300R and up but to go to Help and consistently pull one that will is impossible during this time of year unless she is a stunning 9 or 10. Those are the ones I avoid anyway so the idiots drooling all over these putas can have 'em. I don't care.
