Or has Q started making the Easy Payment prices twice as large as the real price of items? Maybe, I watch it so seldom I just didn't notice this before but I think it's pretty sleazy.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Every time they ""Upgrade"" things change ... except there prices and shipping charges.

They probably want people to think that easy pay price is the total,price for the product. The other night I saw some small graphic on the side of the TV, only listed the price (might have been just easy pay, can't remember) and no product information....like the name of the product. Plus the person talking was on a binge talking about everything else BUT the product. I still have no idea what the name of the product was. I changed the channel.

I've noticed it, too. I think they're trying to make people think that's the price.

There have been times lately when I can't read the actual price, it's so small.

I've noticed that little "trick" for quite a while about highlighting the easy-payment amount and downplaying the total price.

The hosts often quote one easy-payment amount during presentations, as if it's the total price.

There are a couple of host who say ""25.00$ it's in your house."". I prefer ""we break it down to 25.00$ a month"". Just sounds the honest truth.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I was just about to say that. The hosts will say ""And it's only $39.95 to get it home!"" as if that's the total price.
