This trend was especially exacerbated by all the successful internet companies who helped bid the prices up in every market by paying the new girls top dollar to get them first, and also because there were a lot of agents bidding up their prices.

I have noticed that very recently now in 2008 however as both the DVD and the internet market are suffering from slower sales overall the prices some girls will work for has finally fallen a little bit depending on what region you are located and who is doing the negotiating. If you are an independent producer like myself with a good relationship with certain models who you give regular or semi-regular work to you have a lot more negotiating power than if the girl is talking to the booker at say BangBros, who they damn well know can afford to overpay and not blink an eye. On average, talent is still getting way more than they were five years ago however.
