CIJ Sold Out before presentation

crz033 · ‎07-19-2015

May I once again vent for just a minute on not bringing in enough stock for the Valerie CIJ stuff. Those harlequin spheres are sold out in all but one color, and I'm not even sure they presented on air yet. I DID have them on my wish list, and it's MY FAULT for waiting, but IF it's once again "ONLY ORDER OF THE YEAR!" (TM) then I missed out, and I'm crabby about that. Val you know this stuff is cute, bring in enough that we don't have to play "Buy it before it's even presented or it's gone!"

If I recall it was presented at the beginning of the 7pm show as a preview. It sold out quickly so maybe others were waiting just like you! Sorry you missed out but I've learned over the years if I wanted something from VPH to order when I saw it.

I no longer buy as I have too much decor and trying to downsize it.

WOW! I am sorry you missed out on this only order of the year, but they ALWAYS bring in items during these events that have limited quantity! It encourages interest, excitement, and sales, as evidenced by your interest!😊 That is part of the fun!😁 Since the holiday shopping season is just getting started, there will be SO many more opportunities to find some of her irresistible treasures, and I am SO looking forward to it!👍😊

I am wishing you better luck next time, and HOPE you are able to find something just as nice and festive as those beautiful spheres/ornaments!!🥰🤞

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Maybe they will bring them back before Christmas, or Mardi Gras. They would be perfect for Mardi Gras decor.

You may try doing a search for harlequin patterned Christmas decor on Amazon, etc. I am sure you will find the same thing or something similar. I have seen VPH items under different labels other places.

I'm not sure that Valerie makes the decision about how many of each design is available to sell. I think it's a management decision. I have learned to check her Facebook page for the dates of her visits. She always does a "sneak peek" video showing some new items and follows up with an album of pictures with item numbers. I check QVC website a couple of days before her shows, type in "Valerie new" to see what's available. Some items are not loaded on the website until just before her shows. Items do sell out quickly. I remember the frenzy and disappointments when her stary night hurricanes sold out. Ebay had them for resale at ridiculous markups. People were blaming her for not having enough to sell. Again, I don't think we can blame her for limited quantities.

Live and learn. Don't blame it on anyone but ....

They definitely were not sold out before the presentation. They were on last night at 7pm. There are still 2 colors left, the red and white & the black and white.

With the amount of items Valerie brings in as well as the amount that ends up going on sale, they are fortunate when something sells out.

I saw them presenting the sphere's on the VPH show with Rick yesterday afternoon, but it had already been presented earlier in the day. The color you wanted sold out during Rick's show. I'm still waiting for her 3-tiered lazy susan to come back in stock in black. I waited and it sold out quickly. It does seem like the best VPH products are not bought in the quantity they should be and the rest of the mediocre stuff is bought in far too many.

Do you know whose illuminated spheres got a better rating than Valerie’s. The BFF collection. 3 mercury glass spheres for $59.98 on sale now.

Reviewers said they are very well made, light up all the way inside vs partially like Valerie’s, batteries last longer and timer works better.

Check them out! Silver. Gold, Sapphire Blue and Pink Quartz.
