Those that are seeing the same offers are most likely watching QVC fo entertainment so they get bored with the repetetiveness.  Like the Copper Pan today, they've sold enough and then some.  What a profit.

I get it and I have moved on. I do tune in to ITKWD sometimes, because I like kitchen items. Now days if I want something I look on QVC. COM. Some of us long time viewers remember how interesting it was to see many different products. I don't care for infomercials , so the new QVC has limited interest for me.

Re: Halo Bolt .........Again????????

I love mine brought earlier this year.  Was stuck at the beach with a dead battery.  I hooked it up and within 5 min out of there.  Same happen at the bank.  In fact I had a little crowd watching me and asking where I got it.  Every women should have one.  I finally got a new battery, but this Halo has been a life saver.  Oh yes, I forgot, the dark parking lot also.  Don't knock it, it was worth every penny.  I have AAA, but stuck at the gas station self service when battery went dead before I got Halo and took them 45 min to get to me and i do no live in a rural area.

Perhaps, just pehaps, they keep showing this product because it sells.  Why would tjeu show a product that doesn't?  Do you think they are intentionally doing it just to bore you because you remote is apparently broken and you are unable to change the channel?

That could very well be, it could also mean they aren't selling as well as they hoped. Don't worry  some of us changed the channel a long time ago.

I remember the "good old days," when TSVs used to sell out, and the Q would then feature a back-up item at a special price. Those days seem long-gone. I can't remember the last time a TSV sold out.

 

I'm trying to analyze possible reasons their TSVs don't sell out:

1. Boring items

2. Items priced too high

3. Too much inventory in their warehouses

4. Turning off the consumer with wall-to-wall coverage

5. Over-saturation of similar products in the marketplace

6. A bad economy

7. All of the above (best answer)

Re: Halo Bolt .........Again????????

I thought the new more powerful one with a flashlight and an AC plug was great, and portable and ordered THREE of them early, early enough to get two of the Gray and one of the Blue Floral.....

 

Then, in the evening, I went to my Orders and double checked them and all three were on Advanced Order.  I remember being told there were only so many of each and "when they're gone, they're gone".....  

 

I checked back a while later and they were still on Advanced Order and I was put out about it and cancelled all three orders.  Not sure what it all was about, but for $300 I decided I didn't want to deal with it..... (I really don't like Advanced Order Status or Waitlist Orders and will avoid them).

Re: Halo Bolt .........Again????????

Despite owning three other Bolts (one for each car, and one to charge our devices if the power goes out), when I saw this thing had an AC outlet I grabbed it. We live in hurricane country and both my husband and I need to use a nebulizer (him for asthma, me for chronic bronchospasms related to sinus infections). Something like this can make the difference between breathing easily when the power goes out and struggling for breath.

Only your portable battery jumper won't run your electronic devices if the power goes out at home thanks to something like Hurricane Matthew. It won't run the nebulizer that my husband and I need to breathe.

Re: Halo Bolt .........Again????????

They all went on advanced order status even though they weren't on advanced order. It was a glitch on the website. I ordered mine on TSV day and it  arrived on Thursday (which was the original EDD when I placed the order -- shocked the hell out of me, because NOTHING ever arrives on the EDD. NOTHING)..
