Getting a Little Tired of Little Difference on TSV Prices

I have been noticing the difference betwen the TSV prices and the regular prices on TSV items.  I purchased the Fitnation Bike on TSV price 3 or 4 days ago, whenever it was and just so it for $199.    The TSV price was $185 Free S&H and it showed the QVC price at $222.  The $199 today still have free shipping and handling and the same flex pays.  If these TSV's are supposed to be such a great deal they should be discounted more than $15 and in most cases for clothes if you pay attention the difference is only $5.  What the h....... is going on.

@apptini You said it beautifully.  Not only that but the TSV's have not been very exciting.  It seems like the same old thing and yes, the prices are a little on the high side.  When will the Q realize that you get more bees with a little more honey.

Yes, but all those COLORS!!

 

Just being sarcastic

I think Q thinks the exclusive colors make up for it

I agree ... case in point:  the Northern Nights reversible sheet set TSV a couple of days ago ... $49.98.   Today the price is $54.98 ... a whopping $5.00 savings!

yes and not only that but I got those sheets a year or so ago and no matter how many times I wash them, they are not soft, even a little scratchy and irritating. The colors are pretty and the stretch on the elastic is good but thats about it! You can find much better sheets for a better price anywhere I think.

Re: Getting a Little Tired of Little Difference on TSV Prices

it's been that way for quite some time now on most TSV's.  I never worry if I miss out on the day the TSV is presented, since the price doesn't typically go up by more than a few dollars.  Most times, I'd rather wait and see some reviews.

Re: Getting a Little Tired of Little Difference on TSV Prices

I think for me when I say I don't like the price of something, very often it's something I probably am looking for an excuse not to buy.  As I'm finally culling lots of clothes and jewelry and decorative items from my house, I realize much of what I'm getting rid of one way or another was something I bought on sale.  Sometimes those sale tags are still in place years later -  I could have saved the whole cost!

 

And that's how I try to deal with the TSV's.  If I really want it when it's offered, that's likely going to be the best price I'll get anywhere, although I do check unless it's a QVC brand, and I might as well have the dollars whatever they are in my pocket.

 

But most of the money I'm saving is coming from buying fewer things -  here and everywhere else.

I have noticed this trend also and now hesitate to purchase on the TSV day and instead wait for the reviews to come in.  Of course if it is something I really want and have a color preference I do order on the TSV day.  Sometimes the easy pay goes away.

The TSV often amounts to a few dollars. There is almost always a featured price that comes after the TSV price.  It is a small discount not a big sale.

The powers to be should really look at this subject because I truly believe they are loosing sales by such a low discount on the TSV.  I, myself remember the "good old days" when I never missed seeing the TSV because of the better price.  No longer..
