If you could, either in person, or over the internet, sign up for and participate in an auction for escorts... Basically, trying to grab an hour with a guaranteed stunner for below-market rates... Would you?

If not, why not?

If so, what would you like to see as far as the terms of the auction? That is, would you want a straight "one girl one hour" for each listing, or would you be up for bargain rates on a two girl show, or perhaps the chance to get two hours with an ATF for the price of one?

Basically, if you have any ideas for what you'd like to see in this kind of setup, I'm all ears!

a) there is no honest broker for the auction. Most people don't trust the others in the business enough to give their real names, much less agree to more than a fleeting, one-time financial arrangement.

b) there is no legal recourse if something falls through. If I win a two-girl show auction for next saturday and only one of the girls shows up, what happens? Or what if the promised menu isn't granted? The girls with solid reputations probably wouldn't jump in on an auction.

As erotiek suggested in post #3, a 'Priceline' sort of situation, where providers and hobbyists could hook up on a very short time scale, would be much more effective -- a girl with a last minute cancellation could let everyone, or just her regulars, know that she's available at a certain time. It's unlikely that a guy could ask for a certain menu at a certain price because of the LE fears, but in a fantasy world where there was less legal issues and there was more trust, such a system would allow for a more fluid exchange of services.

Why would 'guaranteed stunners' bother to particpate? Just to meet up with you for less of a gift than they get elsewhere? That would be nuts.

Unless a lady is absolutely desperate for a call - which is an absolute rarity for any repuatable GFE - they'd run away from this idea at warp speed.

Your're dreaming. But you do get two stars for creativity. Just unrealistic tho.

Too much sex is still not enough

On a personal note, definitely concur with the priceline-style or "jetblue alert" type thing as opposed to a straight auction... But I "get" where my partners are coming from too - and they're not all located in places where this stuff is illegal.

For me, overall, it comes down to, is something lost by only having escort sites/directories that cater based on the ASSUMPTION of illegality? That is, what if you assumed it was legal, or at least non-enforced (hrmm, wasn't there a ballot measure recently?), what could you do, or what would be different about how you'd run the site then?

Anyway, if anyone's interested in a little further chat from the consumer (or provider) perspective, or interested in a beta test of whatever this ends up being, just shoot me a PM.

Thx.

The winner could aslo be listed as someone who pushes boundaries among the inner circle of RB Girls. Does she get to refuse to accept the high bidder?

Seems like a lot of effort for little benefit to either party. The girl could set this up herself if she wanted without need for "outside" help which is going to cut into her profits one way or another.

Personally, I'd rather spend the 5 minutes to make a phone call and have a sure thing set up for the evening or a couple hours later without waiting, guessing, and hoping.

What about the reverse - A "priceline for mongers"? You register, plop in your availability and what you're looking for/price limits, and providers can just pull up a search when things are slow, and select from local guys with time/money on their hands?

I have to wait a whole year to be eligible. Sheeyet!

With the new trend of going after and prosecuting client side, this
could be hard. I also see this as the reason why not many men would post
ISO ad seeking certain service/fetish etc.
