It used to be the case that, if you contacted the Personal Shopper about a particular item, they would let you have it for either the last or the average price it went for on air. No more, apparently.
I spotted an item I liked just as the game was ending, for £300 and something pounds. It was shown in the overpriced shop for £900 and something, so I knew it was still in stock. I contacted the PS, and they quoted me a price of £700 and something (even though I pointed out that I'd seen it on air for half that).
What's the point in that? I'm hardly going to buy it, am I? Do they actually not WANT to sell jewellery, preferring to show the same unsold pieces on air over and over again?
