Suggestion Box

I think the number they say sold is the number sold since it first aired!!!

Perhaps not as often as they report -- but I actually like knowing how many items are sold.  Especially in the case of a TSV.  I see people posting all the time on these forums about how they didn't buy something becasue of the negative reviews.  When tens of thousands of an item are sold and there are 20 negative reviews I think it is ridiculous not to purchase based on that alone.  As with medical forums -- the unhappy people are more likely to post.  For that reason I find knowing how many were sold in relation to the number of reviews to be helpful .

It bugs me when the host mentions that a certain color, is going fast...in final quantities...about to sell out, etc. at midnight, AND if I tune in after work at 4:00 P.M., that color is still there!  WHAT??!!

@mac116, this is my complaint as well.

I've delayed placing my order, and missed out on items or colors I wanted, that actually Sold Out.

Hosts will say "going fast . .wont last long . .will sell out" about items/colors that aren't anywhere close to selling out. They say it when its not true, and I've learned to ignore it.

How many are sold, or the host's prediction it will sell out is useless.

I'd rather know how many are left.

I for one do not care how many are sold for the day, how many sold in this presentation, or how many sold this month!  Just a suggestion, QVC, most of your viewers do not care and it gets annoying to listen to the host constantly telling us this information.  If the intention is to get us to buy because so many others have, that does not work on me.  I do not make up my mind based on how many have been sold.  Maybe you could tell us how many have been returned?  Sold means nothing to me.

I take it as a push for those on the edge. "SEE how many people bought this?  WHAT are YOU waiting for?"

Can't imagine anyone trying to sell things would ever, as a part of their sales pitch, say how many were returned.  However, I actually don't mind how many were sold...............providing they only mention it once or twice during a presentation.  I used to love David's shows, but I've grown weary of the incessant updating of colors and quantities left.  It's gotten very old.  Maybe quickly scroll that information on the bottom of the screen?

David is the worse offender but perhaps he is being told to keep reminding the customer on his kitchen shows to put pressure on.  The constant updating is annoying to me; I like your idea of maybe scrolling it at the bottom of the screen.  He updates constantly and always repeats what the producer is saying to him "what, how many?"  I think he does it to build suspense!  Doesn't work on me, actually does the opposite.

I like how HSN has the number of items and you watch the numbers trickle down with each purchase. They don't do this with everything though.

as long as they dont go back to the blowing the horn and tootie on HSN.

OMGosh, OP, I have said this so many times!! Every time I hear the hosts (and David does this the most) say, "We began the day with (×) number, and we have only (x) number remaining."  It drives me crazy! Not sure WHY it drives me crazy, but it does! ha ha

Well said & I couldn't agree more!! I have actually turned David V off, he just keeps on & ON repeating the numbers. I DO NOT CARE! This irritates me to no end.
