Poor Quality and Older Items
The channel specialises in selling goods initially pricing them at supposedly high RRP prices and then heavily discounting them live on screen. The presenter tries hard to talk the buyer into thinking that items sold are high value and that you're getting a bargain when in practice a lot of the items can be bought in discount high street shops for similar prices when P&P and the premium rate phone call are taken into account. Many electrical items are 'yesterday's' technology and you could therefore position price drop in the market as an outlet store.

being younger or older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
