I like having QVC on for background noise but their buyers should visit retail.  Prices are lower and products are so fresh and pretty

How can you compare QVC to retail? Do those stores provide shows showing what their clothes look like on real people? And do they do it 24/7 with customer service?
That costs money. Do the designers show you their clothing in retail stores? And as far as inventory they certainly don’t have it for me because I wear talls. I’ll take QVC clothes every day over retail stores. As for prices the tariffs are hitting us hard, you can see it in the Irish shows.

I think shoppers know what they can do with their own money.

Everyone can have their own opinion. Purpose of the forums.

Maybe it is a marketing strategy. Some people believe, every time, if an item costs a lot more than the average, it must be far better than what is available from the other retailers. I guess that in some instances this is true.

Great, enjoy Q if you want. 

 

I always price shop. I can find what I want elsewhere for less money and free shipping 99% of the time.

I compared prices on the Irish sweaters and they went up about $20 from a year to a few years ago.

 

I didn't think that was bad at all especially for the quality.

Lots of shopping options. If Q is too much $ for you, don't watch and there are many lower priced retailers.
