Why does QVC cost more than the regular store…

The Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 bundle for Nintendo Switch just came out in stores a few days ago at $69, but it is $76 at QVC. I wanted to buy it on QVC because I have a few dollars in credit. I don't understand why it costs so much more though.

They always have been more expensive and when you request a price match they will laugh in your face as they did to me and their reply was feel free to shop where ever you choose.  In other words if you find something less expensive somewhere else by all means buy it at that store.  I always do a price check on everything I see on Qvc.  If someone wants to be ripped off, buy at Qvc.

Do the other stores provide videos of hosts describing features of the clothes and pictures of multi-size models wearing the clothes?

Things usually cost more b/c when you buy something from a homeshopping network then you pay for everything else that comes with that such as the hosts' paychecks, their vacations, the models' paychecks, the TV presentations., the TV crew...you get the idea.

@Dennieee.  There's no way anyone here could answer your question since we're all customers just like go.  Go buy it where you get the best deal.  QVC does not price match.

Not everything is presented or even on video, period

That's true but the items are still in the same boat.

I have found price differences of at least $100 at Patricia Nash and have found Clarks, Revitaligns, and Skechers also at lower much lower prices.

I remember asking a Barnes and Noble employee why the books were so much more in the store than online. He said: "To pay our salaries, lights, etc."

I guess I would have thought that somehow we didn't have to pay for that as customers, but it makes sense.

And I do appreciate being able to look in the store. It is always a good experience.

QVC has things a "brick and mortar" store can't have.

Still I do think that QVC tends to overprice their overpriced stuff.
