Judith says buy two...

bbsr — Fri, 27 May 2016 19:26:50 GMT

Judith R. was on this morning with Antonella selling a bangle bracelet. It was on clearance for $599.00. with a savings of $400.00. Judith suggested that we buy two of them. Really...Wow It just sounded greedy to me...

Judith is obviously out of touch with her audience.

What? You mean they forget to tell everyone to buy one for their Gift Closet? I would never spend that kind of money on jewelry unless I had tons and tons of money, which I don't. Even then I would think twice. $600 could be used for a lot of good elsewhere other than a piece of metal on my wrist.

One for your right wrist and one for your left wrist.

Her items are so $, for being mass- produced. I do like some of her items, but not the price.

I think Qvc's audience includes the well heeled - but not only that the employees get a liberal discount.

......well....I have the bracelet .......bought it on clearance and it is stunning......if I had the doe, I'd buy another and wear together on the same wrist. It rocks the house!

Today Leah was presenting the TSV and said, "If you can only afford to buy two...." and started on about what colors to get. Of course it included one of the neutrals and to then pick up a fashion color. Only afford two? Who needs three pairs of the same style shoe?

I'm convinced it's just a basic principle taught in sales 101. And who knows? Maybe it's working.

Although with a $600 piece of jewelry it's a bit of a stretch!

They can say anything they want. The customer ultimately will buy or not buy. It's nothing more than a selling technique

@MickD I have a lot of Judith Ripka pieces from her earlier collections and love everything I have. Haven't purchased anything in probably over a decade but everytime I see that bracelet it makes me sigh as I think it is beautiful. It's nice to know someone has it and is enjoying it, good for you!

@momtochloe - cool....a fellow collector! I started around 2005....I have monacos and necklaces up the ying- yang....just can't get enough.....I buy clearance now.

Lots of times people forget their humble beginnings...the more you make the more you want...I mentioned in a post on Among Friends that I'm not a fan or her jewlry (I know lots of women are)...she seems to think her stuff is somehow well priced, what. Joke. No matter, she gets her money either way.

Then you also have your actors, TV hosts, etc. They're so ****** greedy.

arent the millions you make from your movies enough? Do you really need commercials, sell clothing, shoes, jewelry, product endorsements, on and on...like I said, the more you make,mothe more you want...greed always rears its ugly head.

You know if you can afford to buy jewelry like Judith's there is one good thing, you won't see it on everyone you meet. I don't wear silver jewelry but I like watching her shows if there's a good host with her. Beautiful pieces.

What really makes me angry is that it's almost as if they prey on the elderly and weak and tempt, con them into buying everything and anything they do not need! They don't have the money to do so, put themselves (and families) into a financial mess with charging everything on easy pay...that's the horrible hook! Be careful of loved ones and yourselves as well, because ole' Judy as well as QVC and hosts don't give a hoot, and hoot isn't the word I'd really like to use!😤

They can say whatever they want, but their tired sales pitches don't work on me. In fact it's quite the turn off to me. Some of these hosts (and vendors) are getting so bad that the channel gets changed. I only buy based on what I like and need, not based on thier phony enthusiasm.. Judith's stuff doesn't appeal to me at all anyway, lol.

I am so happy that I bought my Ripka jewelry pieces years ago when they looked expensive and beautiful. To me her jewelry is way over priced for cheap looking pieces. I can remember being so excited to watching her shows, now I could not care less! Sorry but I never thought I would say that.
