@QueenofTheQ I get what you are saying and have pointed this out myself in other posts. Macy's got busted for this type of sale on their Martha Stewart line. The items had never been sold at the "regular" price so the sale price was not an actual sale. So Macy's has to put her stuff at a higher price for a least a few days a year now to claim that the sale price is legit. Q plays the same game comparing the TSV price to the Q price, when it should be compared to the featured price. It irks me too. I seldom rush to purchase a TSV because the savings are minimal in most (not all) cases.

Kohls was in the same type of lawsuit.  I wasn't aware of the Macy's suit and I don't know whatever happened with Kohls.

So, the OP is essentially complaining that QVC does not charge enough and resents the fact that others who opt to purchase the item a day after she did are not paying significantly more.  That's what she's saying -- regardless of how she spins it.

When it comes to purchasing anything (from anywhere), it is up to the consumer to deterine if the price is good.  If the price makes sense for the purchaser, then by all means bu it; however, complaining later because you could have found it cheaper elsewhere or that the sales price was not as great as you though is no one's fault buy your own,

You missed the OP's point. The OP made it clear that she isn't fooled by these shenanigans but doesn't like them. She is by no means complaining that they don't charge enough.

I have certainly bought items from Amazon where the prices have gone up or down after I bought. Once the price dropped $40 two days after purchase (I did get them to adjust that one). $3? Good grief - that's chump change. Anything $5 or less is just not worth getting my knickers in a twist about.

QVC might be trying to find a sweet spot selling price for the item. Sellers do such things. Macy's can say anything they want on the price tag as to what an item's non-sale price "was" - and they probably never sold it for that price, so the "sale" price is just as meaningless as QVC's.

It's all just words. How much you believe them out of hand is the issue. QVC sells to people they think they can fool the easiest. If you allow yourself to BE fooled, well ...

I comparison shop EVERYTHING. I buy the best and/or easiest/simplest deal for me - which might not be the same for others. My shopping is not restricted to QVC. They're not forcing me to buy from them. They're not my sweet grandma, they're a retailer. I'm a smart cookie - I know what's a good price and what isn't, *regardless* of how it's presented and by whom.

The OP wasn't fooled,, as she stated. It's not the amount of savings, it's the dishonesty, period. If you're saving 1 cent and they claim you're saving 2 cents, it's still not right.

Then the OP can be just as upset with every other retailer who is dishonest in this sense - which is the great majority of all retailers including the majors. She finds QVC "more" dishonest than other retailers? She can (1) not buy from QVC, (2) file a class action lawsuit to "end the dishonesty."

Or she can (3) write QVC a post in the "Suggestion Box," which OP has done. She is doing QVC a favor if they take note and correct a misleading business practice. And just because other companies (including the majors) are doing it doesn't make it right.

Since QVC has been "doing this" for years, why would the OP - or you, or anyone else, think that QVC will change something because one person creates a post on their online forums that says "stop doing this", and a handful of posters respond with "hear, hear!"

Oh look at this! Let's escalate this to the CEO right away. I'm sure if he had any idea this was going on, he would put a stop to it immediately. We can't have a single upset customer!

The OP has the right to suggest whatever she likes. Other posters have the right to express their opinion of the OP's opinion. Some will agree with her and some won't.

No need to check. The Q runs the TSV on a continual loop, matched only by marathons of Law and Order.

They got you to buy, enough said.

KYToby  I see your attitude is still the same as it was a few years back...always confrontational.WHY???

[libbyannE]

I don't pay much attention to the pricing. If it's som thing I need or want and the price seems right to me, I buy it and don't look later to see how the price may have changed. A difference of $3 or $6? Who cares?
