Q Talk

Two items that I bought last week went back to full price after being on clearance. One was a swim skirt that had been on clearance at $10.99 since last summer went up to $39. The other was a three-piece clothing set that went from $33 to $103. These items were on regular clearance, not Lunchtime or Primetime Specials, or on a temporary sale.  I never knew that clearance items could or would ever go back to regular price.

A pair of Idina Menzel joggers went from $25 to $75 dollars. Can anyone explain these crazy price fluctuations?

Only at QVC. I thought  when most retailers  marked items down to clearance they made adjustments  in their  accounting  for tax purposes .

I've noticed that the prices do change back and forth.  I purchased a Candace t shirt two weeks ago at a final price of 13.99 and today it's at a regular clearance price of 24.99.  

Good thing you made your purchase last week @Dennieee .

The hosts always state that something is on clearance to make room for the newer items coming in...........so what's the real story?    I find this happens on HSN also but many times the clearance price goes down even more.  I have received several credits over the years as I am always checking the current prices on my order status page.

I bought something g last week at 25.99 blowout clearance, no returns and today it is back up to $51.99 blowout clearance no returns.

Agreed! It's a pricing yo-yo! I see items affordable, and the next day, higher than ever. In my opinion, if an item is reduced, keep it that way. Not just for a short time. That stinks. If it's on sale....leave it on sale until it sells out.

I find this as my grandmother would say" Dirty Pool". This practice of raising the prices almost or over double on clearance items gives me a bad taste in my mouth about QVC. Clearance is clearance, as a retail associate this would not fly at Nordstrom.

Same thing I noticed too.  I bought 2 tops for 13.99 and now just 19.99 but still 5 more plus shipping.  I got free shipping.  I have the same top but spent 40 on and should have never done that and wasn't worth 40 but sure worth 13.99.

Just a simple t -shirt type top as well but at the time it was 51.00 down to 40 and matched the beach pants.  It did wash up nice and fit is nice too but last time I let myself get sucked in at those prices.  

I think it is madness on doing that on things that have been around and reduced.  Ok when new item and say going up after today but Candace has items and no longer a vendor so why raise those prices.  Doesn't make sense to me.  I picked up some of her items and have gone up again,

I've noticed that too. QVC plays too many games with their prices.
