How are we supposed to know how good a price is for a one time only or an event price, if they won't show it. What gives?
It's either worth it to you or it's not. I hardly hold stock int the 'original' prices that are posted anyway.

I agree with the op I cannot see the price either and the easy pay is a lot easier to see. It seems they are using the color grey for wording It is just too light.The easy pay is red.
It was not always like this ,it has begun recently,maybe only a few months ago. Even the hosts have started saying get it home for $... (the first easy payment) and not saying the total price.
Then add $10 for shipping to the price

I agree with the OP. This has gotten more noticeable in the past few months. Sometimes during the presentation the host does not mention the full price more than once, instead she or he focuses on the easy pay. It reminds me of the infomercial for Total Gym, that says "Total Gym for $14.95," which is a total fraudulent come on.
Just now I measured the two prices on my large 50" tv screen, the full price is 1/2 inch tall and the easy pay is 7/8 inch. That may not be a huge difference, but couple that with the color print for the easy pay on a smaller screen and it can easily be confusing.
Another similar gripe is when a host says the price is $36.00, when no, it is $36.95 which in my mind is $37. Only a few hosts do that. Most will say under $37. True, although barely under $37.

I have NEVER had trouble seeing the price on the screen. Maybe you are not looking hard enough! They aren't hiding anything.

or they could just say it is ""practically free""' and never mention the price at all....

Count me in on this too. Especially on my smaller TV, it is hard to see the full price. I also notice the hosts hardly mention the full price, but say "you can get it home for XX" which may be only 1 of 3 or 4 payments. After I add in the $10.+ for tax and shipping, I don't go ahead with many orders. Interesting thing is I never seem to miss not getting the item.
