Vendor Pitch So Ridiculous

rms1954 — Sun, 28 Nov 2021 21:32:02 GMT

"I did this as a gift to you. Now you can order multiples. People told me I was crazy to do this at this price, but I wanted to do this for YOU. I immediately got on the phone and ordered one in every color and style."

Sounds like someone hawking rugs to tourists in a souk.

I agree with you @rms1954 . I think the hosts and vendors have to take a step back before speaking. This type of tactic is ridiculous.

@rms1954 - Do you mind telling us what the item was? So that we can see whether it's a "crazy price" that we'd want "in every color"? (No need to mention vendor name.)

Try HSN. If you are watching at all today it would be easy to figure out.

@rms1954 Not that she boibght even one of any color or any price. I find her comment as ridsiculous as the vendor's - whoever it was has a real job with pressure to sell by the minute.

@millieshops We all know she didn't buy one in every color! The exaggeration was to make a point. She is right they need to think before saying some of this stuff.

@ROMARY I don't know if it's the same presentation that @goldensrbest is talking about with bending the spoon but I've heard it many years ago. They want to prove that their 18/18 stainless spoons are better.

Yes, 18/10 stainless steel is much better, stronger.

Nice set, good price, btw.

Good stainless lasts forever.

EDITED: Yes, I was right. It's 18/10 stainless steel.

It's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure.

Each time DG2 has a TS she is on continuously ALL DAY LONG. When she reached the 10,000 mark and the host told her I thought she was going to declare a national holiday and fireworks were going to be set. She literally screamed (cha-ching and you could see $$$$ in her eyes). And that silly comment about carrying her Chanel bag while wearing the $32 jeans and no one questioned her and asked "why would you be wearing those cheap jeans and carrying a Chanel bag (which by the way someone gifted to her). So transparent.

Sounds like this vendor may have been a used car salesman in their former profession.

Drives me nuts. Buy one for everybody, buy it for a babysitter or your next-door neighbor. I know they are giving ideas but it's over the top at times. I think there's not that many people who would spend what they are saying on a gift for someone maybe not in your family. SK is a big one to do things like this. Maybe it works maybe she is a top seller and that's why she is on all the time. It comes off as tacky but I guess some people listen and buy.

@manny2 I knew what she was doing but I give much more credit to the customers than you and she seem to give them.

I don't know any one except a few posters right here who wanted to buy every color of anything offered. When Louis was still around plenty of his fans bought every color they could afford to get their hands on and I never once saw any one of them complain they had too many or had spent their food money to own all of t(em. I think every one of them was happy with their many purchases.
