This has just made me put on BidTV. I even got out of bed to get the remote. BARGAINZ

I love the sheer enthusiasm the presenters have for the products on sale, after watching for 10 mins I start thinking "Hmm well I could do with a new blender, this one is £400 but does scrambled egg too". Never bought anything, but do have a little look now & again.

We had price drop tv on this morning and they were selling a necklace for £125 then 'amazingly' they dropped it to £20. Does anyone actually buy this ****?

LMAO
I think there is one called GemTV or something like that, the prices start at around £67,000 and drop to £80 odd. I could watch that stuff for hours, amazing!

Isn't there a film about this? Some guy starts being honest about the products and just ends up selling more?

What's that film called?

this spoof one for charity still cracks me up:

selling an AK47

I don't see anything wrong with the items.

If it allows elderly people to clear their paths when they wouldn't be able to otherwise, what's wrong with them paying for the convenience?

Why buy it when you can get it free from the yellow salt bins in the street?

(supermarket salt is not the same thing btw)

iirc it's you're not allowed to use the yellow bin salt on your private property, it's only for the roads/pavements.

Price Drop Tv is awesome. They used to have 'Megadrop' events, where stuff would drop to a pound. A lot of it was tat, but I saw a fair few power tools going for a quid (plus £9.99 postage) but £11 for a decent drill set (I checked reviews online) isn't bad. I found it stupidly exciting on a hungover day...

I bet you didn't watch it for long.

Do they do bulk discount, I'm think we'll have another bad winter ?

The Halk · 16 Jan 2011 at 13:22

They're refillable. Just buy one set and lots of salt.

In the past I have attempted to watch their "technology hour" shows just for a laugh. A dual core dell computer with 56kb of ram for £499, no thank you.

Yeah I turned it off swiftly.

They were trying to sell a 'Learn Windows 7 - The easy way', apparently made by some guys down the road

no joke, he actually said that.

Adding an 'i' has got to be worth a 300% mark-up, iSalt, Ker-ching!
