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.

Famous quotes containing the words poor, quality, older and/or items:
“Even a poor man can receive honors.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“There were never in the world two opinions alike, any more than two hairs or two grains. Their most universal quality is diversity.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Many older wealthy families have learned to instill a sense of public service in their offspring. But newly affluent middle-class parents have not acquired this skill. We are using our children as symbols of leisure-class standing without building in safeguards against an overweening sense of entitlement—a sense of entitlement that may incline some young people more toward the good life than toward the hard work that, for most of us, makes the good life possible.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
