You handled it well, B.
And in the West, don't over 50% of the population own guns? I though it was not that big a deal out there.
You can't be paying attention to those pricing emails: they are computer generated by
algorithms and have little to nothing to do with reality. Ignore them and run your business your way.
I still think raising the price will help weed out locals. Just go a little higher than the competition.
And you charge the same 50 for one as for four? That's what it looks like.
I'd set a price for one guest at 50 and 25 (or 20 or 15 or 10) for each additional guest up to four.
That is the system I use. It won't effect your listing's search ranking but will bring in better guests and weed out locals. There are many ways to structure that style of pricing. I'd recommend it. Try getting out pencil and paper and run the numbers in differing sceniarios.
You can try different settings in your listing to find the right combo. I think it's doable.
Keep tinkering. I do it all the time, always tweaking my listing as I learn more.
Good luck.
