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:
“Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“It is not stressful circumstances, as such, that do harm to children. Rather, it is the quality of their interpersonal relationships and their transactions with the wider social and material environment that lead to behavioral, emotional, and physical health problems. If stress matters, it is in terms of how it influences the relationships that are important to the child.”
—Felton Earls (20th century)
“Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“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)
