HIGH PRICES....

kat7 — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:10:22 GMT

I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOUR PRICES THESE DAYS. NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO SPEND $169 FOR A CASHMERE SWEATER, BY THE WAY, I CAN FIND VERY FEW ITEMS THAT ISAAC HAS THAT I CAN AFFORD. DONT GET ME WRONG, I CAN AFFORD THINGS LIKE THIS BUT I AM SENSIBLE AND WOULD NOT PAY THAT PRICE FOR A SWEATER. LATELY, YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT EXPENSIVE THINGS THAT THE NORMAL PERSON CAN AFFORD. I AM SICK OF WATCHING AND SEEING THIS, I HAVE FOUND MYSELF SWITCHING OVER TO HSN. I GUESS YOUR AUDIENCE HAS CHANGED TO WHAT IT USE TO BE, YOU SHOW VERY LITTLE DIAMONIQUE SHOWS ANYMORE AND HAVE VERY FEW NEW ITEMS, IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME THINGS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN QVC IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL TO A MUCH MORE HIGHER CLASS OF PEOPLE. WHEN IT COMES TO GOOD SHOES, THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN A SWEATER. LIKE I SAID, I PROBABLY COULD AFFORD THESE THINGS, BUT I AM A SENSIBLE PERSON AND DO NOT FIND THE NEED TO BUY THESE EXPENSIVE THINGS THAT I WILL NOT WEAR THAT OFTEN.

That's what it's about ... choice. No one is asking you to buy it.

Kat7 , I completely agree with you.

I wouldn't pay that much for a winter coat that I would wear everyday, let alone a sweater I would only wear once in awhile.

I don't know how much you expect to pay for a designer cashmere sweater, but I think $169 is a very good price for one, especially considering the amount of fabric in the sweater. Land's End has a non-designer cashmere cardigan made with less fabric and being sold for the same price. Land's End is usually a place I look to for less expensive cashmere. Dillard's has a similar tunic sweater by Eileen Fisher and it's listed at $378. They also have some much cheaper cashmere sweaters under $100, but in my experience, cashmere that's under $100 when not on sale is very thin and doesn't make it to a second season without getting holes.

If you want more affordable cashmere, shop for clearance cashmere in late winter and look for items originally priced higher than $100. That's how I've found some of my best cashmere sweaters.

I agree that some of the prices for certain thing have gotten extremely high. If I were to pay $169 for a sweater, I would want it to be a classic style that could be worn forever. And $49 for a simple D&C vest? I am shopping the B&M stores much more often. Between constant sales, plus coupons on top of that, I can't believe the prices I am paying. That is, very reasonable. You don't even have to go to the stores, as they all have web sites, and many offer free shipping.

You did not get it, I could care less about cashmere, I would never buy it. I am talking about the high prices over all.

kat7 — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:47:34 GMT

Thank you, I am going to look into that.

I wonder how many people would be buying high-priced items if it weren't for easy pay?

Not having seen the sweater in person(although Issac's clothes are well made) I have to say that is a more than fair price for cashmere. I like that QVC is presenting different price ranges. I would rather pay more for better quality and not have to replace the sweater each year. Not everyone cares for the lower end clothing, and wants more of a choice. The key word is choice. If something is not for you pass on it. Why be critical of the Q now giving us more choices?

It's a fair price for Cashmere. As for the overall high prices of clothing at the "Q". This is not an issue for me. I rarely purchase clothing items from them. I prefer B & M stores, since they tend to offer clearance prices and sales.

I love a nice cashmere sweater and pair them with a leather skirt or pants. I've found nice ones on sale at Macy's for around $100, not bad. Speaking of leather, the real thing is getting very pricey. One reason I check E-Bay for them. I just bought a nice new w/tags leather skirt for $17. I know I really don't need another one, but it is in a color and style I don't have.It really pays to shop around both on line and B&M stores.

Isaac is the "face" of IM Live. If you think he may not have seen the item, you're probably right.

When you buy IM, chances are you're getting a team, like D&Co has. Whatever you pay, you're getting charged a higher price for a face, not a designer. You DO pay designer prices for IM's face equal or more to Bob Mackie, Linea, Simonton, who actually do design their own clothes and you actually are getting what you pay for. I try not to pay extra for a face, when I can have a real designer for the same price.

Talk about high prices. Has anyone noticed the price of deodorant has skyrocketed? Lol. What's up with that? Another lady and I were laughing that there's gonna be some stinky people pretty soon if deodorant keeps going up 😜

I find their prices about normal. I don't understand why people get upset with QVC pricing on clothes. There are other stores out there. Good cashmere is expensive no way around it. And, I like that QVC offers different price ranges.

QVC is following a different business model than they did a few years ago. They are choosing to sell fewer units at a higher price point, instead of doing high volume at a low price. Look across all of the lines, from jewelry, fashion, handbags, shoes, cosmetics - they are all dominated by the "Luxury" brands.

I absolutley agree with the fact that lesser items are presented and the complete hour or two is consistently repeated with the same item. Same dialogue; same droning on and on. I never sit and watch QVC; I'm usually doing things and I have difficulty sitting for long periods. I'll do something after an item is presented, return 10-15 minutes later and it's still going on and on. Boring is the only word I can think of and don't think the value is there anymore. That's one of the reasons I return items. The value is not there and presentation looks different on TV. I'm scolded by QVC for retunring the items. Another thing I found laughable: I return items in the same package, I bring them to UPS or PO and I PAY to return them. Yet, Ms. Chapman said "bad girl." Really? When you start reimbursing me for the cost of returns, then you can say something and please remember, we are the CUSTOMERS. And I pay my bill on time every time.

Re: HIGH PRICES....

Q4u — Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:00:41 GMT

QVC seems to try and appeal to everyone. Those that love cashmere understand that for the price and how much material is used in this sweater that it's actually a great price for 2-ply. A comparable sweater at Nordstroms or upper end store that would carry cashmere would be asking at least twice the original price for it or more. I didn't buy it because I just didn't like the sleeve and shoulder configuration but I was interested.

And choice is what it's all about. With almost every store out there having a website I don't understand the problem. Google the store, see if there are code coupons, go to the website and shop your heart out.... or spend a few hours out going to the B&Ms, have lunch out and it's all good.....

At the risk of offending some I got a Land's End cashmere sweater (black) at Goodwill for about $4.00. I don't think it was ever worn.
