It's 11.45, and Torchy has Duchump again. They are gold standard he says, the sort of watches you would see celebrities wearing! Has he been sniffing the Blue Magic?

I saw a bit when he said the 1st Flexi pay was only £999.99. (It was £99.99).

Then he said the Seiko Japanese movement inside was top-notch and up there with a Swiss movement.

Said it looked like a £2000 watch.

What, a skeleton dial movement in a shonky loose-fitting gold coloured octagonal case and strap with a bog-standard Seiko movement? Jog on.
 
Making a sales tactic out of his ‘propriety’ on air. Saying he would never endorse a product he wasn’t absolutely sure of blah blah blah. Then requesting the Gallery provide him with yet another unsourced and highest price always price comparison to minimise informed choice for the viewers in terms of what the same or similar is genuinely available for elsewhere. The grand hypocrisy of him. At least Mason doesn’t continually present himself as some sort of Jesus Christ, moral high ground character on shopping television when he is selling goods on air.

Agree on Janice, but have to disagree with you on Mason, you know i'm never going to give him, not one iota, of compliments/praise. :ROFLMAO:

Maybe not continually but he does fairly often mentions that he prides himself on his honesty and integrity, and it's just not his style to mislead folks. Personally I find him one of the most conniving, deceitful presenters on IW, worse than Janice. His whole sales strategy is based around befriending the viewer with anecdotes / stories with his smooth talking jester character, just a guy like us, one of the lads with similar background and life stories, someone you can trust, but it's just a ploy to lull viewers into a false sense of security, it also has the added benefits of distracting viewers from concentrating to deeply/asking themselves questions on the products he's selling.

Mike is selling a Extension Lead, With a delivery date of 30 July, I don’t get these advanced orders

Although they've got a new studio, they haven't got a new warehouse, they're warehouse was built to cater for TJC, but with IW as well most probably need a bigger place, especially if they were to stock bigger items like ebikes, rattan, furniture etc, maybe existing warehouse isn't able to to stock massive amounts of bigger slow moving stock. Might be why they're mostly restricted to selling small cheap quick selling tat.

I think the false comparison sites are to encourage impulse buying.
You're sat in front of the TV, you fancy an item, they show it more expensive elsewhere, you think, well it may not be the cheapest out there, but reasonable price and don't have to look around web, at other sites that may come up on a search and don't know if trustworthy and I can get quick/easy over phone or web from IW, a home tv brand.
 
Geez. £60 for a microwave grill pan!

You can buy a whole microwave oven for that!

And a new eau de "toilet" called Humble.

They're taking the p!ss, after Gammon, etc.

Ok, the Humble EDT is only £10, it's the sort (Humble, by Laghmani London) of type you'd get for a £1 in Poundland.

And just seen £250 (yes, really) for a 6L 1700W airfryer, but, get this, it rotates on a sort of gimbal.

For £250 I'd expect it to fly, make dinner itself and lay the table.

I woke up after a night of curry and alcohol abuse in seering heat. Briefly, mainly due to temporary delirium, I say Mason in a better light he doesn't deserve.
 
Hello Everyone, First Post so be kind.

Im off to University in September, But I watch some Shopping TV as Im Curious.

My main point well my first Point is the Fashion, I wouldnt wear any of it, To Old Fashioned and Frumpy, I like Oversized clothes, but not something, that resembles a tent me and my friends stayed in at Glastonbury the other weekend.

I did purchase the neck fans last night, following on from having a glass of wine, they may do me if we get any summer, If not they will see the bin.

Like I say my first post, so be kind, If it rains later, I may stay in and have my say on Peter this evening.

Just noticed im a typical Uni Student, who cant spell her name

He's flogging Nubeo Apollo 'Space' watches for £499.

The graphic says 'spice', as MM pointed out. Amateurs.

Complete with a thin shoddy plastic lunar lander case frame holder and a unidirectional bezel with no timer/markings on it that is as useful as the proverbial chocolate teapot.

The watches labelled Apollo 11-17 yet described as Moon, Mars, etc.

Someone please tell me how Nubeo automatic watches are worth £499?!

Why compare cheap scent to expensive high end fragrances? Like comparing Pomagne to Dom Perignon because both are fizzy and alcoholic, It’s £9.99 car boot table stuff. It has absolutely nothing to do with Creed or Versace etc..

When Rob was selling some of the cheaper aftershave he said along the lines of, it's cheap but it smells nice so will be useable if you're on a budget
