What Is The Best Deal You Ever Purchased on QVC or Elsewhere?

Luv2Watch — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 19:52:24 GMT

Just curious to hear about the best bargain you ever purchased anywhere?

Online? In-store? Garage sale?

Here's mine.... Many, many years ago, I bought a "lot" of used, mixed costume jewelry on Ebay for $0.99 and when it arrived it included an authentic Gucci watch in practically new condition. I felt guilty about the purchase and reached out to the seller to tell them about the value of the watch, but they never responded to my email.

Another time I was shopping at a Marshall's store and there was frosted glass butterfly in a locked case at the jewelry counter. It had a clearance price tag of $5. I bought it and later found out that it was Lalique and worth over $100.

What's your favorite bargain purchase? I'd love to hear your story.

In over 30 years of shopping at QVC, I've gotten some nice things but don't recall ever having gotten a screaming hot deal.

At a resale shop, a brand new full length Pendleton wool coat for $25. Later found out retail was 500.

My best bargain was a DB faux fur coat. It was in January, about 4 years ago which is my birthday month & I saw the DB faux fur coat at our Bargain Spot store for $50.00, because it didn't have the hood. I just about ordered it for $125 on QVC. I still get compliments on it every time I wear it.

Once they had Philosophy "Falling in love" for 3.4 eu da parfum for like 16.99, everyone alerted others on a qvc facebook page, I bought it, I didn't really care for it but my sister in law appreciated it.

Also years ago shopping at Macys a shirt rang up for 99 cents, the cashier said she had to honor it.

I get brand new Lug bags every summer from someone who sells them for

very little.

These are beautiful bags, same colors and designs QVC sells for a very

minimal price. I would never pay Q's prices on any Lug.

My daughter and I look forward to shopping and picking out new purses

from the large selection. I switch out my purses constantly, get tired of the

same one for too long.

My first QVC purchase soon after they bought CVN was a many piece Corningware French White set.

Still use it today after about 40 years, that's a bargain lol.

Do remember the price was very reasonable. That helped me get hooked on QVC.

Also wanted to add regarding T.J. Maxx stores, I have found lots of Slatkin

candles there around $15 to $18 each his soaps are $4.99 a bottle at my

store anyway. The thing I dislike about QVC candles are usually you have

to purchase two in a set of the same scent. I usually only want one of each

scent, not buying two of the same.

I have found Philosophy creams and shower gels too. Of course there is

not much of a selection but when you see something that you like and

smells good the deals are there.

Another local store in my area sells closeouts of Logo, Susan Graver,

Kim Gravel clothing. The prices usually are in the range of $8.00 to

$15.00 a piece. I would never pay full price for any QVC clothing.

The deals are out there, rethink some of the really high clothing prices,

it's really getting crazy, shirts $50 and up, no way would I ever spend

that much.

I never got an amazing deal shopping for something, but I did make out very well selling a few Beanie Babies! They were selling for $5.00 each.

They were super popular in the mid 1990s and we bought a ton of them for the kids. I found out a few years later that there was a buyer online in NJ (I'm in PA) who was willing to meet DH at his place of work and buy a few of the Beanie Babies from us and pay in cash. They were in excellent condition with the tags attached.

We sold two at first ....a black cat and I really don't remember the other. This man met DH where he worked and handed him over 3k for the two Beanies!!

We sold a few more (again, I don't remember which ones or exactly how many....2 or 3?) for several hundred more.

@Luv2Watch My best purchases were Tiffany style stained glass lamps from QVC.
Mine are at least 20 years old. I just checked the prices on similar ones today and they are at least 4 times the price I that paid for mine. Glad I purchased them when I did. 🤗

This was many years ago, I got a beautiful Coach bag for $150.00 at TJMAX. About an hour before I was admiring the exact bag at Macys at the mall nearby. It was over $300.00 and I reluctantly passed. I couldn't believe my good luck !

Last year I picked up a DB wool winter coat, NWT on eBay for $25.99. It was one hot wrinkled mess but I took a chance, had it dry cleaned and it was beautiful!

Retail here was $179.

@Sparky3333 I have the same one! I put it on my front covered porch in a large base in the winter and leave it on all night. The stray cat that lives between my house and the neighbors likes to come early for breakfast....and it is usually dark ... He enjoys the "candlelight" meal .

Probably early 90's. I got a huge Oak entertainment center. It

had a slight chip in the wood on the side. My dad fixed it for me. It was $75 at a furniture shop that was trying to get rid of it. The price tag was $900. I still have it today. It no longer holds my TV and stereo but it's still a lovely piece. I changed the inside to partial storage, and made a huge charging station inside for all the electronics! It's still a useful piece.

SO, he rarely dresses up. I got a full length wool coat for him at Goodwill for $8, and a suede jacket for $12. Great buys for $20. The wool coat still had tags. The suede coat looked brand new.

I've been with QVC practically since the beginning and I have bought a lot of stuff so it's impossible to narrow it down like that. I can say the air fryer I bought about 5 years ago was among the best. We use it all the time. We get fried food without all the fat. My Dooney handbags are my treasures. I have collected 6 or 7 over the years and they are classic, lifetime bags.

it was QVC UK. I saw a gorgeous large pearl necklace, but it was almost $500. I put it on my wish list and forgot all about it. One day there was a reminder to mr that it had been reduced to under $200.. I got it home and it was gorgeous.
