Price on the TSV

summergal1 — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 02:39:42 GMT

Wow. $250 or $400 😳. That’s a lot of money. Perhaps instead you sponsor a family for Christmas 🤔❤️

I thought they were quite expensive for a TSV. I never did hear how many they sold.

I wondered if they're programmed to flash a message that says, "steal me". If you have one big and two small, you've got nearly $1,000. sitting unprotected in your front yard.

No one should be shamed for spending their money for any item they want.

My thoughts exactly. So much money for just a tree? You could feed a lot of families at the Food Pantry for that amount.. and I think it's actually pretty tacky looking!

True, if you put that thing outside, it's just begging to be stolen. And then you've lost $400 or more.

I'm noticing some posters are having trouble with their pronouns.

I'm sure @charlygeorge meant to refer to herself, and wanted to say, "I could feed a lot of families... "

Likewise, OP surely didn't mean to suggest where others direct their money, and meant to state she herself could "sponsor a family... "

I have been watching this today in amazement. The idea is nice, but the quality appears to be questionable. I saw the brand ambassador struggle with assembly during a presentation with Courtney last night. I see an assistant doing it this evening and she is doing a convincing job. It does not appear to be sturdy enough however, to survive wind gusts during an average storm here in the suburbs of Seattle. I will wait for the reviews to come in. Although it is pricey, if it turns out to be everything they say it is, I might take the plunge. It is unique and I like unique things😊.

I'm no landscape designer, but even at the tsv price, those "trees" look pretty flimsy. Think they'd last more than one holiday season?

The lighting setup is clever, but cone trees are not for me. The light patterns remind me of a neon sign.

The bottom of this tree is loose and will swing in the wind. It was moving back and forth on the set. Prongs going into the ground are not long enough to keep it straight or from falling over in high winds. I've had experience with that.

They said the lights send "signals" to all the other lights. What if one goes out for any reason? What happens to the rest?

And yes, someone stealing them is a possibility unless chain locked to something close that can't be removed. That's not even foolproof these days.

I wouldn't pay any price for these trees. Look like a big headache to me.

Clark Griswold would like them, though.

I agree with the concern that these “trees” are not sturdy enough for a snowy, windy season and the ease of theft. If one is lucky enough to have a closed porch or sun room facing the street, that might be a nice way to share the holiday spirit with the neighbors without the worry. They are pricey, but as with all new decor technology, competition will eventually lower the price. Remember how expensive the bliss lights were when they debuted. Then the competition forced the price down. Those were candy for thieves too. Do they even make them anymore?

I can picture one of those flashing trees on either side of a neon sign that says "Joe's Diner - Open 24 Hours"

While that's a nice sentiment, it's not realistic.

QVC is a retail sales business to make money, not a charity.

@summergal1 Or perhaps we could spend our time volunteering at a soup kitchen instead of reading the QVC forums!

yep, right from the start I thought these would be more attractive to, and 'fitting' in a business display than a private home.
