Did the people in charge of making these price reductions all fail "Marketing 101"??... Or "Math 101"??

Melania2 - I saw that item you're talking about. I even bought it and really like it; however, I was so amazed by the "reduction of 4 cents" that I even sent a comment to Customer Service to make sure it wasn't a typo. They replied it was a correct price. It was Item A266463 Denim & Co. Marled Crochet Short Sleeve Sweater with Scoopneck - QVC Price $35.00 and Featured Price $34.96! I would say that I've never seen anything so ridiculous, but I saw something on FB just about a week before I saw this, and it was a picture taken of a Sale sign at a local department store, advertising an identical 4 cent reduction on something!

Broken record here; but the Q has NEVER understood the concept of CLEARANCE.

 

EVER.

Saw some IM pants this morning on "clearance" for 10.5% off. Not too far off from a featured price vs QVC price on another line of IM pants.

So, where's the "clearance" savings??? 😳
