I really dont feel like doing the research right now but Im pretty sure Max is on record saying the most he ever paid was 2k and that he only did that on a rare occasion. A couple of the girls even shot with him for free, while others were paid a couple of hundred bucks. The deal is when you're shooting complete amateurs new to the biz, they dont know who max hardcore is and they dont know what going rates are. Factor in that a lot of them are on drugs and just want the next fix, a couple hundred bucks can seal the deal. I have personally paid amateur unknown girls for full on boy girl sex scenes for $200 or less at least 10 times.
