Annoyed

I had a detailed custom request for a BDSM custom involving breast impact (with my Dom). I gave him my price and he tried counter offering $500 less than what I quoted! Says that’s what he usually pays for that type of custom. I turned him down of course. It just has me wondering if others are really selling themselves that cheap or do they just lie hoping we’ll take whatever money we can get? I guess it’s probably a combination.
