TRICKS

Pat is on now and I like her, but I am so tired of trick phrases. I have heard this all morn. "Get it now because the price is going up at the end of the day. I turned the TV off. I can shop at Macys all day and never have to listen to that phrase, and get free shipping.

Am sure the " prices going up " is not a trick as QVC yo yo's pricing all the time. What gets me is most of the time you are lucky if something is just $3-$5 cheaper than what they usually sell the item for

I don't understand where any "trickery" is involved.

If an item is advertised at a "One Day Only" price, that seems fairly self-explanatory to me.

Macy's frequently advertises Only One Day sales and events on its website and app as well as in-store.

I stopped watching a while back and I am telling you it worked out for me. Glad I did too. Got tired of hearing the hosts and spending money foolishly at times as well. Not always a waste, but the Q does not carry the items that use to be so unique or as competitive like they were back in the day.

Times change and so have I. Just not me any more is all.

I wouldn't want that job and I bet they get tired of saying it as well.

There is no trickery. Good grief prices go up
And down everywhere all the time. I think you are taking this far too seriously.

I've learned to buy it now if I like it because it may not be there tomorrow.

@dmeasy Speaking of Macy's, today they have a countdown clock on their website for a summer sale for 20% to 50% off. The clock is currently at 17:01:45, and counting.

Obviously Macy's website doesn't have the audio to tell you that. How is that different from Pat being able to actually tell you virtually the same thing without you even having to check the QVC website or even look at the TV screen?

@They CallMe MRWILKES Except that Macy's "One Day Sales" typically last for 3 or 4 days.

QVC "sales" are a joke.

The host is telling the truth, that the price will be going up. Sure, it can be triggering for some to hurry up and make that purchase. That's an example of a talented sales person, who, by the way, is just doing their job. Providing honesty and a little push at the same time. I see no trickery.

Oh, that Macy's trickery, chicanery, false advertising, lying and deceit!

And here we go again. Why bother posting? Just stop shopping here and visiting here. They make revenue on every click and every comment one way or another.

If all of you that no longer shop here for your myriad of reasons would stop posting, maybe they'd take notice. Good or bad attention still makes them money.

And yes, you're entitled to your opinion, it's just so futile.

@skatting44

I so agree anything reduced under $5 is not a sale.

@Bonkers1 To your point, on the DB and Friends show Amy touted how the raffia-look bag from IKWHIP was never lower than $68. It was $67.98🤨 That move was just a sad push by the producer to force "what a steal"! when we could see right on the screen the (original sale) vs the current "sale" price. To note, they should have pushed the fact the original FULL price was $82 saving around $14.

However, Aimee K was on and her leather bag that was $50 off. Now that is a real bargain!

I don't think it is Tricks. Sales professionals are taught a certain language to use, and if it's their job, then that is what they do. Since I seldom sit and watch an entire program, the language that is used doesn't bother me. Hopefully, new people tune in all the time, so that it may be new to them. It is interesting to me how different things appeal to different people. When I am at the mall, I use Macy's as my entry point. Haven't shopped there in years.

@dmeasy - Macy's only has free shipping if you spend a certain amount of $$. Sometimes they have free shipping promos regardless of the amount.

As @They CallMe MRWILKES pointed out, Macy's has one-day sales also.

What is going on with Pat? I saw her on a few weeks ago and all of a sudden she pulled out her Top Front Teeth and holding them up saying something.
