IMHO, prices in 2008 did NOT significantly go down and just stayed pretty well the same. From what my uncle said, the same could not be said for the period 1998-2004, periods when Hong Kong really got hit with the full brunt of everything bad - from the stock/property market crash to the SARS debacle, which saw Hong Kong turn to becoming practically a ghost town.
All the above coupled with the marked deviation of mongering habits for a lot of HKG punters all made prices really come tumbling down. During this period 1998-2004, most of the very expensive KTV's/nightclubs (which had been the mongering venue of choice of most punters) had gone bust with more and more guys starting to favour/preferring the much lower priced and better quality/quantity action in Southern China.
Then there was the advent of web sites such as ours which basically transformed WG's from their previous perception as only suitable for the dregs of the lower class to nowadays being quite acceptable by most. And even HG's - prior to the internet, one needed to be introduced to/know the Mommies/pimps to avail oneself of hotel gals; and at that time the prices started at HK$1,400 even for the most common HG! With the internet, prices dropped rapidly and mongering became a much more proletariat undertaking by all strata of society.
Increased "supply" from the mainland - mainlanders progressively being quite liberally allowed into Hong Kong - had also allowed prices to come down during the same period.
Just IMHO

Ps edit
Want you guys - especially newbies - to look at 2 reports by the same poster.
Both quite well written, at approximately the same time and yet one had gathered 11 favorable rating comments and 29 K points whilst the other one, only a couple "request" type ratings and only 2 K's!
The only substantial difference between the 2 reports that I can spot? 2 lousy DB pixs!
