Agency fees, special and regular

[Neil]

I noticed Latin-Internet has a special on their membership fee of only $300.  They say the regular membership price is $799.  Has anyone here actually paid the regular price?

How about All Colombian Girls?  Has anyone paid the regular membership fees?  Or can you get a discount by showing up at the house and negotiating?  I tried the later approach once and it turned out they were full that night and Ricardo took me around the block to his ex-wife's agency.

Neil,

When I stayed at Latin-Internet last year, I stayed for 7 days and six nights, if I recall correctly.  It cost me $400, and that included breakfast each day and all of my introductions and translations to all of the ladies I met.  I was introduced to probably 6-7 ladies.  It could have been more, but I stopped it because I was interested in one lady, at that time.  Even though it did not work out between me and that particular lady, I have continued to try to meet ladies through emails. In January, I met the lady that I am now very much interested in.  I plan to see her in the very near future.  I hope this info helps.

If the membership fee where only $300 it would be the cheapest agency in Cali.

But you either have to stay there at about $100 a night or you have to pay a $60 a day fee to meet the women if you don't stay there.

Neil,
I am a member of Latin-Internet, as I had indicated in an earlier post.  I joined in early 2004, as I recall.  Anyway, I was looking at the website and considering joining well before I did actually join. Even back then the agency was advertising on their board that they were running a "special" of $300, for a limited time, blah, blah, blah.  Well, as you just mentioned, they are still running that "special".  I used to be in the advertising game, so I understand the concept behind it.  But, in the defense of the agency, they have been helpful to me overall.  I especially like the feature where the staff will translate all of my emails to any girl who is a member.  By that, I mean "unlimited" emails.  I can tell you first hand that I have sent hundreds over the last year or so; and to many different girls.  Currently, I am focusing all my attention on one lady; but that has not been the case for most of my time as a member.  They also had the staff help set the appointments with girls that I was interested in, when I went to Cali last year.  I am planning a trip back to Cali by no later than May or June.  Unless something negative happens between me and my calena, I will spend this upcoming trip with her; but anything is possible.  The point is that each person must decide if the $300 is a good price.  Based on my experience, I would say so; but to each his own.  Now, I must admit, that one of the reasons why I needed an agency in the first place, is because I do not speak spanish.  For the men who are already fluent in spanish, these services would not be necessary.  So, again, to each his own.  The only other agency that I have a membership with is Colombian Sweethearts in Medellin.  I bought an online membership for $25.  That turned out quite differently, because as it turns out, the staff there does not do translations in the same manner as Latin-Internet; and so I had a very difficult time getting any ladies to correspond with me.  Originally, I had planned to go to Medellin during the holidays.  That plan did not work out; and in January, I started to correspond with the girl in Cali that I am now interested in; so that all got put on hold.  Hopefully, my experiences has helped someone on this board.  If so, please send me a one million dollar check, I could use the money!  Just kidding!
