You've simply confirmed the points I raised. What's the point of a valuation for £4,250 if no one will pay that much for the item? "No jewellery (or very limited items) will re-sell for more than the purchase price..." :mysmilie_483:

I bet Safeguard, or anyone else, wouldn't actually buy it from you for £4,250. These valuations are simply meant to make you feel good about your purchase and suggest how much you could con an insurance company out of should it get stolen. Things are worth what people will pay for them.

It's a ploy to get you to go back to work. :happy:

The flashing of the screen was meant to be a joke. Looks to me as though some of the equipment used by bid.tv has blown which has caused the loss of sound. They tried re-broadcasting one of their sister channels, but the re-broadcast also didn't have sound. According to the BBC there was a...

Oh well, at least they tried. Difficult to sell stuff with no sound, though. :happy:

And there was me thinking they'd ran out of tat to sell. :happy: According to their website the last auction was due to close at 14:11, so I'm guessing they went off-air sometime around then. Let's hope they haven't gone up in flames.

price-drop.tv is off air on Freeview too!

bid.tv is currently broken on Freeview:

I'm wondering if my invitation has got lost in the post. Anyway, I'll be wearing this:

Hmmm, spot the difference. I know which I'd prefer. :happy:

Mystic Neptune? Sounds like another dodgy change over from Gems TV to Psycho TV on Freeview.

P&P is a bit of a black art with all the shopping channels. When Ideal World began they were keen to sell air time and production facilities to third parties, as they appear to do now with cruises. So it could be that the hour you watched was paid for by a third party, with them either paying...

I'm a man too. Although I'm sure some people would disagree with the accuracy of that statement. :happy:

Ah... looks like a technical problem.

Anyone know why Gems TV is showing football on Freeview at the moment?

What happens when the price reaches zero? Should they go into negative figures and pay customers to take the trinkets off their hands? :mysmilie_483:

I've seen this on bid.tv many times. A few days ago Paul was saying it's one of their most popular products. I'm guessing that the software on the dongle simply brings together radio, TV and video streams that are free and freely available via Internet anyway. I enjoy listening to radio from...

Ideal World showed adverts for a while, but it didn't last long. I'd guess the income they generated was minute and it must have been a pain ensuring that the contents of the adverts did't clash with what Ideal World sold. As for P&P charges: of course it could be reduced, but that would lead...

Peter mentioned he was 48 on-air sometime ago. I referred to it here and someone said his age has become a bit of a joke because according to his Wikipedia entry he was born in 1962: Peter Clarence Edward Simon (born in Salford 1962) is an English shopping television presenter and former...

Hide the phone so he doesn't call up to order anything. :mysmilie_483:
