shopping channels

Does anyone use these to buy stuff ?? I find it a rip off i mean £60 for sunglasses 🙄

Oh yeah. 🙄 I wait until they start the bidding, and then knock 99.9% off their price by the end. For example, just last week they had a gemstone on there for $3 Trillion. After ten minutes it had dropped to $5 Billion. By the time the time was up, it was $14.95.

One thing that always cracks me up is the counter at the bottom that shows the number of items "sold." It always goes up every second. That's a hell of a lot of phone operators, because it's always been like this, even before the Internet!

depends on what kind of sunglasses they are,

if they were a designer pair such as Armani, then that is pretty cheap.

£60's pretty cheap for a pair of decent sunglasses, designer or not. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing Armani sunglasses, but each to their own.

The thing is, you can buy a cheap crappy pair for a tenner that offer no real protection, or you can spend some money. I bought some £80 sunglasses in an airport about two years ago, they've done me well ever since.

As for shopping channels, I struggle to fathom why they're even still around.

I don´t even watch them never mind buying stuff from em, ebay may be a bit risky as well but Ive had mostly positive experiences with it.

With the advent of the internet. The only people who shop at home from their T.V are either, people who don't have the internet or addicts.

wow, i'd hate to be addicted to shopping form my TV, i can think of better vices to have 🙂

Ahhh informercials. I love em, take down their numbers then made myself a promise not to call within 24 hours...........usually does the trick. I always look the items up online to see what others say about em too............yeah, the net............cool, yet buyer beware.

Its common sense that a "wonder mop" for example, shouldn´t cost over 40 €, when you can buy a similar thing in some store for a fraction of the price.

The chick who lives across the street seems to fit the profile. In her 60's, I don't ever see any men there, and she always seems to have a UPS or Fed-Ex truck outside her house and the guy is always carrying at least 4 or 5 boxes that have QVC or HSN logos on the side.

Even before everyone and their mom had the internet, I never watched or shopped from them. They're boring as hell, and I'm already satisfied with the knives and power-tools I have.

Well….I think if you wait for some more time… you can get a lot better suggestions that this…I am out of any ideas for this!!!! 😎

sunglasses vary in price and function

what do you want?

a $300 plus designer pair

a sub $300 performance pair

a $90-120 pair for general usage such as sport, driving crime etc.

a cheap >$50 emergency set to disguise a black eye

With people buying stuff on Ebay I thought these guys would have gone out of business ages ago. The power of TV...
