What do you think about these TSV prices?

SMW — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 00:42:12 GMT

I've been paying attention to these TSV prices, and I have to say, I have not been very impressed. Todays's bracelet is $90.00 and the qvc price is$105. Considering qvc usually has a featured price following a TSV, we're probably saving about $10.00. Barbara Bixby had a TSV ring for 99.00 a few weeks ago. It's at a regular qvc price today at 107.00. Really? When comparing to other shopping networks (and even when not) do you think this is enough of a price difference to call the item a "special value?"

I noticed that too. I also noticed a similar theme with some of the lunch time specials.

I just received my gorgeous Barbara Bixby ring the other day. I went on to write a review and noticed that the price was $107.00.

I immediately thought the same thing. Wow! that was not much of a savings.

Here's one for you. I purchased Valerie Parr Hill's TSV yesterday and do you know how much it is today? Just $2 cheaper! Some TSV! LOL!

Yes.....I noticed immediately that the Valerie TSV from yesterday is only $2.36 more today. What a joke for the TSV price on this item!!!

I have been a QVC customer for over 20 years and I have to say that the TSV are seldom a buy these days. I agree with many posters that the prices have really gone up from the old days. I have found that I can get Dooney and Bourke purses for much less on I LOVE DOONEY site and I have purchased several Vera Bradleys on EBay. I always research now before I get tempted by the hype.

CP's necklace is overpriced IMO. Plus, this necklace is something you don't wear everyday. I would not wear at all beause there is too much going on.

In the last few weeks I've noticed the small amount of savings. Truthfully'.it doesn't seem worth much effort to save maybe $5.00.

Diamonique tennis bracelet TSV a week or so ago is just $7 less today than the TSV price.

I think when it comes to a TSV, QVC should do something that will not only keep the price down but have something that will appeal to more than just a handful of people. Doing Diamonique? Make it something simple, practicle, affordable. Doesn't mean everyone will like it but having a Diamonique tennis bracelet at $200 that went out of style in 1990 doens't do much for me. Now Judith Ripka did a pair of studs some years ago that were lovely AND affordable (think $60ish range). I lost one - which I kick myself for! But her other stuff is too over the top both in looks and price.

For example - there was a jewelry item on over the weekend - that Sleeping Beauty Turquoise necklace. Not only was it ugly (please don't tell me it wasn't ugly), but it was a ridiculous price.

A few months ago they had a Dooney and Bourke bag w/flowers on it (I already commented on how ugly it was) and again, another ridiculous price.

I do understand that some items are what they are such as the Garmin TSV and the upcoming Canon Rebel camera tomorrow. And that's fine. But not when it's ugly and costly.

I agree. The prices haven't been that exceptional lately and some of the items chosen for the TSV are just plain ugly and/or impractical. How about the long sleeved sweater in June? You've got to be kidding me. Even if it was lightweight, there is no way I'm purchasing something I can't wear for at least 3-4 months. Besides, the style (ombre) was in style last year and is expected to out of style by this fall.

The other thing I've noticed is one time only prices coming up in each hour when the TSV isn't even sold out.

I live in NYC and the humidity is usually unbearable in the summer (add in the polution, traffic, can't beath around 9 millions buildings..OMG the smell!!!). Looking at sweaters does nothing for me but make me sweat even more. And I'm an odd duck who isn't into ombre anything, including hair (I don't get two toned....it's not the 80's).

Yeah, they just change the rules on things like OTO's without making any kind of announcement or explanation.

My theory on why they rush the season is this. If you buy a winter item now, you try it on when it comes and think it will probably work. Months later when you discover it doesn't really go with any of your winter clothes, or just doesn't look right when you actually go to wear it, your return window is closed, so you are stuck with it.

TSV prices are nothing special lately. I think that's why their new graphic intro focuses on it being the best "find" of the day, rather than the best "value."
