Items presented during today’s Hello Fall program are ridiculously overpriced!

@JillieBean I thought the VPH 2 glass cutting boards one fall one winter with wooden tray for $29 was a great price

It’s not overpriced because it’s more than you want to spend.

@JillieBean I happen to agree with you. I had some free time this afternoon and looked at pumpkins and other fall decor online to compare prices.

I found some pretty impressive things for less than $20. Just as nice and some even better than what QVC was offering.

I understand that not everyone has time to browse, or even check prices, so they don't bother.

That's okay by me. They are spending their own money and not mine.

Honestly, I have no need for any more seasonal decor. I have some to get rid of. But sometimes I like to look.

Most of what is shown can be found at much lower prices at JoAnn's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby. I have all 3 within spitting distance of my house and while I no longer decorate, when I go into those stores, I see all the same items. If they are not exactly the same, they are pretty darn close...all made in the same Chinese factories.

Some of the stuff looks like Dollar Store merchandise. Some of the stuff you can make very easily on your own. Just my opinion.

I always enjoy the Fall shows since Fall is my time of the year. It is uplifting to see new items and while the prices are high, I do find a few things I can afford. I just like watching something light and for me happy!

Fall is my hands down favorite time of the year too and like you, watching Fall shows make me very happy!

The Fall season and everything it represents is like chicken soup for my soul.

I even rake leaves and I mean a lot of them!

🎃 Every item in the VPH collection is listed as "imported." She's getting these items for a song, and the markup is astronomical.

I thought the TSV of two lighted pumpkins marked down from $97.00 to $79.98 was very high.

They have many things very similar at HomeGoods and TJ Maxx for far less.

Of course, if someone wants to spend their money on something, go for it but it is helpful to know there are other options available.

@ManyMeows There is much more to industry to conclude that Valerie is getting the line's items for a song. Can't paint all business transactions with the same paint brush.

🕵 You can when all of the paint brushes are made in China.

I don't think the Q is trying to compete with the Dollar stores, Hobby Lobby, etc. A lot of folks don't have these stores available close to them. Yes, you can shop online at these stores, but you can't see their products closely on telvision like you can at QVC.

It can easily be both.

QVC sets the price, not Valerie.

Ignore the snarky comments. They're unnecessary.

Home Goods is wonderful for all decor ! Fraction of the cost and even looks like Pottery Barn items . Only place my daughter and I shop! I do look at the QVC on line but always know I can get it cheaper someplace else.

Three "Hosts" to sell a ladder??. No wonder their prices are going so high besides all the other reasons.

How does having 3 hosts increase an item's price. I've never understood that oft-repeated notion. The hosts are already on the payroll. Paid whether they sit at home or show up on set. No hourly punch in wage for them!

Might as well put them to work. They could have 5 or 6 at a time with no impact.
