    Default Expensive Gifts & Discounts

    I have a reg who wants to buy me a gift in the neighborhood of $400. It's something he wants me to wear on cam, probably for a long show and more than once. I'm quite sure he's expecting some kind of discount in return, at least for the first show I wear it.

    I've never received something that expensive from a custie, so I'm wondering what would be considered a reasonable discount/freebie?

    I'm not the type to take payment by gift card for anything, I'm all about cash money, but I want him to be happy and not feel like I'm nickeling and diming him.

    Thanks!

    You can state that you always love receiving GIFTS.
    Make sure he understands he is just giving it as a gift and not as a form of payment for a show / whatever.

    After that is clear I would say thank you, send him a sexy picture of me in the outfit and wear it the next time he books a show, but that's it.

    Ditto with what GeezLouise said, you don't owe him anything, its a gift not a payment.

    I agree with the other ladies. A gift is a gift and shouldn't equal payment (partial or full). Because at the end of the day, he's buying that item for HIMSELF to enjoy. He wants to see it on you. If it happens to be something you also like, that's just icing on top. This isn't a selfless act on his part! Which is completely fine, of course. But don't let yourself think otherwise.

    The only freebie I would give him is sending him a thank you message with a picture of you wearing it. If you normally have lower rates for longer shows you could offer that as an option if he's obviously angling for a discount. Otherwise I'd pass. Once they start getting freebies and discounts they come to expect it for EVERYTHING. I'd rather make the $400 off of other customers who respect my rates and buy the thing myself.

    Thanks, ladies. Part of me thought this may be the answer. I guess knowing what the norm is for everyone helps.

    I'm gonna have some nice fucking fetish wear. I love my job. Thanks for the help!!!

    I agree with everyone else. I dislike the idea that I owe a guy something because he voluntarily bought me something that he wanted me to have. It especially irks me when the guy brings it up as though he's entitled. Even if you don't have an explicit policy about what guys get, stuff like "spoil me and I'll spoil you back" or "I'll give you a very nice thank you" rub me the wrong way. I don't think it's a good idea to state or imply that you'll reciprocate the gift, because if you give a guy an inch, he'll try to milk it much more than you'd like (there's a joke about SPH wanking in there somewhere, lol).


    On the other hand, I have regs that are incredibly sweet and very respectful of my time, and I legitimately want to spoil them back when they send me nice stuff. One of my favorite ways to do that is a BRIEF, clothed, free Skype to open the package together. I think it makes a good reg feel really special, because he knows what your time is worth, and he appreciates having a couple casual minutes with you. It's also really fun for a gifter to watch a giftee opening the present, so there's that, too. On my end, it doesn't really cost me anything, because I was going to open the package and admire the contents anyway. I think it's more fun to do it together, so I truly enjoy it. A quick Skype is easier for me than taking, editing, marking, and sending a pic, so it appeals to my laziness. The frosting on the cake is that sometimes the guy will get so excited that he'll want to do a show asap.

    This scenario can be risky, so don't do it with a guy unless he's proven himself worthy of that kind of thank you treat. I would never do this with someone that had EVER tried to haggle my rates, asked for freebies, disrespected my time, or so much as hinted at getting something in return for the gift. I also would only do it with someone that I honestly enjoy. If I ever screw up and do this with a guy that thinks that opening the present includes free playtime, I plan to let him know that I need to hang up and get rid of the box, clean the new toy, etc., but if he can hold on 10 minutes, we can set up a show.

    Most of the time, if they can lay that kind of money down they honestly won't ask for a discount. Just don't mention even the concept of a discount and you should be okay.

    That's a really good idea. We already do Skype shows, so it's perfect.

    Good point. It's sometimes hard to tell if they are loaded, or just really like spending money on camgirls. Either way, I'm important.
