TV Shopping channels

david_b_so23

Does anybody know if there are any pitfalls to shopping on Bid TV & Price-drop TV. I know to add £8 p&p + price of premium rate phone call, but I recently saw a DAB radio go for not a lot of difference from what Argos were selling it (with a different brand name) for.

I loathe these channels and I'd be very wary of any of the goods they peddle. As you say, expensive P&P plus premium phone calls. You'd be far better using eBay or price comparison websites (together with cashback like Quidco) to purchase items from reputable companies.

You dont have to phone up tho,you can bid for items on the computer so you dont have to pay for the phone call....

Hi David, welcome, it costs nothing to thank the MSE's that are trying to help you, they may save you enough money to afford to shop.

generousity and kindness is all about NOT expecting thanx but being gratefull of it if and when it comes

The peeps who crave and beg for thanx espec in their sigs are pathetic.

I however always thank sumone who I feel has helped me.. but when I post I dont expect it.

Ive bought 3 bikes and 2 digi cams from them.. great quality and the bikes were excellent!..x

Im not as you say begging or craving for it,my lifes not that sad thankfully.Im merely stating a fact,and i wonder how other posters feel about it.Surely its manners to thank someone who helps you with something or is that me being old fashioned.
