If anyone is stupid enough to deal with these scam merchants, they should seek urgent help.
Most of the stuff is over priced junk, plus the obligatory phone call charges ( in very small print ) and of course their hyped delivery charges...which amounts to around £10 before you start.
I am far from naive and guliable, last w/e i bought 11 tops for less then 27 pounds and 4 towles and a dressing gown/bath robe for 27 and also a umbro watch for 11 pounds, and i must say , i am very pleased with the items and friends and family say they are good too, The towels are excilant, i worked in hotels for 20+ years and never saw towels of the quality i got from bid up and price drop.
I know many other people that have bought from the channels too, who are very happy with the products.
Also when working out the price of a item you have to add the postage and price together and decide if it is good value, i dont bid on the phone , use the internet , which is free and saves me 1.50 a time.
I have to mention a friend at work bid on something from price-drop.tv and it arrived within a few days, she's had the item for a year or two at least and is very happy with it.
It was a watch, and a bargain compared with some High Street jewelers selling the exact same one.

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!
brother bought a watch from price drop , when they first started, what almost 3 years ago now, and it is still working, the watch i bought would have cost me up to 150 pounds in the high street, if not more, and i got it for 11 pounds, could not even get the strap in the high street for that.
Bid up must be doing some thing right to go from 1 channel to 3 in less then four years.
Before i got sick, i use to run my own business and i feel sorry for the webmaster and it team, they have lost everything and months, if not years of work, there is not one product on any of there websites, hope they had all the websites on back up discs or a back up server.
Could take them weeks to get all there products back on there site.
I remember when i first put my web site together took me 3 months to get 6000 products on my site.

Fine, I have to take your word for it, you obviously needed those items, and couldn't find them at better value anywhere else.
Obviously you looked around before buying those needed items. :rolleyes:
I suspect the quoted prices didn't include the scam delivery charges.
Oh BTW, I think we all realise that Hotel towels are hardly of the best quality to compare with....

To each his / her own, as they say.
All prices are inclusive of the 7.99 delievery charges and excluding the 1.50 phone call, cause i bid on line,
THe towels in my hotels were the best quality i worked in 5 star hotels , they must be good, cause about 25% A DAY WERE STOLEN BY GUESTS TAKEN THEM HOME, THAT SAYS IT ALL.
And i must say the delievery charges are not a scam , as if you went to local post office and posted a item to arrive with in 7 days with insurance and signature, insurance being for the full replacment price of the item bought and not the price paid, you will see that postal charges are now very very expensive.
I sold a item on e bay last year and had to contact the buyer , because the postage had gone up and they paid another 5 pounds postage, because of postage and insurance.
How come when the channels remove the DOGs it causes a blip in the sound?
Well depending on how they distribute their signal could affect the audio. Most likely they will have some sort of logostore which adds on the DOG. This may well cause a sound blip and picture jump should it be switched in and out of line!
It is also possible that they are changing their matix which distributes the video and audio signal.
Could take them weeks to get all there products back on there site.
AFAIK their website is tighly integrated with whatever runs the auctions and graphics on screen. if they've lost them then I doubt it will be feeding what's available into the website.
its a pain, you have to put in price, then picture , and most importantly product discription, for each item. discription can take you upto 20 mins each. and then stock level , and thats all i can remember of the top of my head,
I'm sure that sit-up will have offsite backups of their data. They couldn't really afford not to given the long disruptions and possible loss of revenue due to data loss.

Nice camera, but if i had 340 pounds to spend on a camera i would use the money, to go see my family in the states

They prey on the gullible and naive in society.

Cool. I don't know much about production galleries but that one looks like the Fisher Price My 1st television studio.
