Vendor Pitch So Ridiculous

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.

Bending the spoon?

 

Hope it wasn't the one that she was selling....
