Why the constant encore presentations? The buyers aren't doing a very good job if they overbought all of these items that they are now trying to get rid of.

I remember they did this last year too.

In a way it gives customers a chance to get something they might have missed or couldn’t justify getting at the time.


What better time than Christmas to offer them again at their TSV or Big Deal price.

It's annoying when certain items are presented so often. That HALO Bolt thing they ran into the ground on TSV day, and for days after were still many many presentations of it. Must have a warehouse full of 'em to unload.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about those repeat TSVs. I'm leaning towards wanting to see some new things rather than the old. Makes it more interesting that way. It can get boring seeing the old stuff over and over again. I change the channel.

TSV presentations on this the weekends are not meant for regular viewers.  They're trying to catch people watching sports or other shows that happen to be switching channels in between commercials.   Then, they need to repeat the info for those that stopped on the channel.  Same as every year and every weekend.

Or they make a higher profit from them.

As they have done for at least one other year, QVC is re-promoting many recent TSVs. If you click the menu link for Today's Special Value or type "today only price" into the search bar, you'll find more than 100 items being highlighted as TSVs.

Most of the TSVs being reoffered are limited in colors and have broken sizes.  Makes sense to try to unload that inventory as a TSV or a Big Deal.

 

Basically,  they're just clearance items going by another name.

They overbuy on the same items and brands and this is the result.

 

It makes for exceptionally boring television but let us tell you about that HP laptop in yet one more half hour presentation anyway.

I take the opposite approach and say "why not".

 

Im confused about your complaint as this does not hurt customers one bit.
