Bought In Products?

[Brissles]

On the few times I've switched on, there appears to be a lot of products I've never seen before, and at cheapo prices. So clearly Q 'buy in' stuff from obscure companies who probably don't have enough inventory to keep QVC happy, so just shove them some stock to move at reduced prices at Sale time.

I’ve noticed that there are clothes in the sale available in every size and with no video presentation so I reckon you’re right. I wonder if it’s sale or return - they wouldn’t want to be stuck with a few extra tons of flops.

A lot of the supermarkets and high street stores do this. They are supposed to have been available at full price prior to sale but you would probably struggle to find them. It’s been happening for years.

Sadly there have bern enough businesses quietly folding, that there will be plenty of stock to be liquidated. Ideal World have done very well buying in stock to clear. Seems like may be Q are taking a leaf out of their book.

Yes but I thought goods had to be sold at a higher price in a reasonable amount of time before being reduced in a sale.

I think the rule used to be that an item had to be sold at the higher price for 28 days in the previous 6 months but I think this has changed. I believe the before price now has to be the usual selling price.

I remember the 28 day rule and it was usually some store in the Isle of Man or somewhere at the outer reaches of UK

QVC are selling Gok's biker jacket as a big deal. I think this was planned a long time ahead and hundreds of jackets were made just for the upcoming sale. They're still making a huge mark up on it, however.

I remember years back when my mum was alive. We used to go to the sales and M&S always had clothes which my mum used to loudly say "Never seen this in here before!"

I do that now!
