ALL hosts remove sold out colors ....it is policy on all shopping networks..To not remove them would be deceiving to the public..Almost every show on every shopping channel does this, whether it be clothing, jewelry, towels etc...

On one hand you say it is policy on all networks while on the other you say almost every show does it. Which is it?  I only ask because I have watched other networks do the complete opposite. Instantly coming to mind would be the cooking shows from the minor league shopping channel. While I understand the removal of products, I think what I dislike are the theatrics.

You could...I don't know...not watch? 

David is QVC's top salesperson. I think QVC likes his on-air persona just FINE, and it doesn't even register with them that a handful of forum posters don't like him - the same as with other well-selling hosts that draw a lot of pot-shots from people who've made it a hobby. Shoot away. Nothing's going to change.

What gets me is how focused he is when it comes to a sold out color. If a color sells out, he must take the time to stop and remove it from the display as if not doing so will cause some major shift in the rotation of the earth. Really? The people who call in and order or purchase online are sure to get an updated quantity list. Maybe it is just a pet peeve of mine.

That is a pet peeve of mine too.  I like David, but seems he spends most of his time going over the colors again and again.  Also, with Temptations, if there are several pieces of each color they take the time to have someone come out and help cart them away.  I don't that that is necessary and seems a waste of time.

Seriously? I wonder if people think through things before they post their complaints.

He does this for two reasons.  First, and foremost, not everyoe watches QVC on your schedule.  With QVC being showin in 100 million homes across multiple time zones, people are constantly tuning in, so these updates are needed.  Secondly, and also iportant, QVC has said that each time David goes over colors or does a Happy Dance, sales spike.  Since QVC is in business to make money and not entertain us, I am sure this is something that will continue.

As has already been said, if you do not like the presentations, change the channel.

David is obsessed with colors

When I said "almost every show does it " , I meant almost every GENRE of show does it..I do not watch every hour of programming on Shopping TV, far from it, as I work an average of 60 hours a week..But in my PERSONAL experience , I have seen it  with jewelry, clothing, shoes, cookware, intimate apparel, wigs, luggage.Certainly not isolated to cooking shows...Evine Live are the only other cooking shows I watch and they do it too...telling you even to the unit, how many of each color is left...

frankly it seems informative to me, not "theatrical" ...  but I would expect TV to be theatrical...

[momtochloe]

I have read multiple articles that when the hosts go over colors and quantities the phone lines light up (especially during David's shows).  I think for those of us that have been watching for decades it is tedious but for new customers there is still that "oh goodness it is going to sell out" mentality that we have outgrown as we know better.

Last night I watched Ming on HSN and it might have been his pressure cooker but while three colors were sold out, they kept the attractive display standing rather than dismantling it like we'd see here. The blond host mentioned which colors were sold out as well as the quantity remaining and all went well.

The point here is how other shows or channels might and might not remove sold out colors without over-doing it. It's not false advertising (or whatever was said) if a color is still displayed even if it is sold out. That happens quite often in retail.

Theatrics have a place to be sure. In retail? I'm not buying it.

[Mothertrucker]

Yes, I saw HSN with Ming too- I didnt hear her say they were sold out of any colors, but perhaps they were not at that point.. but I CAN tell you that  if I would have flipped it on and seen only lime green, white  and orange left, I wouldnt have even stayed.. so perhaps that is why they left the colors up..I also noticed that throughout the presentation I watched they never said what SIZE the PC was and that was really annoying.. and when i kept looking at the screen it was not listed, even the words running at the bottom were talking about his version of the "copper pan" NOT the item he was presenting..

I was curious, cause I really liked it but it looked so HUGE... mine is 6 qt but this looked way bigger...That was disapppointing
