What a turnaround, I wonder if there is a reason for such a change?
Sadly the same candour isn't being displayed by Helen Bates, 'buy this and get £10 straight back into your account'
I don't think so Helen.

Or Adam Hepenstall selling some egg cookers or pants earlier for a penny. 'So what's in this for us? I can't see anything. A penny, plus your P&P, we're giving you back more than you're spending here'
Magic Adam
Jeez, now that is like the bad old days.
Helen is still saying it, over and over and over. She needs to cut it out.

Adam H is very much under the radar at the mo
Bit like his magic, slips it in unnoticed

Really? I've just put her on and she must have said it five times lol. She also said, if you buy 10 things, you get £100 back in your account.
And if you're a bit deaf, there's a £10 label under every item
Ok we geddit innit

I only mean she has stopped saying you get it 'straight back' in your account, which of course you don't.
Much like James was Sally has been very specific about when you can use it too, Helen hasn't bothered with that little detail though.
EDIT- She's back to the 'straight back in your account' claims. She's seriously starting to annoy me now, stop the BS'ing!!!!

When they have this great offer of credit/vouchers on, it's almost unbearable to watch. I'm sick to death of hearing the words 'ten pounds' and 'credit' and I've only just tuned in.
And if I hear 'Jackpot June' again..........and it's only the 1st

There's no imagination to their ideas is there? Very, very tedious. It almost grinds you down!

Sally's now stood there, for the last few minutes, holding the £10 credit card straight to camera
Really, really desperate
Really, really desperate
Helen was sat on a rug with a big £10 sign on it. In fact when she was selling cheap stink the camera seemed to spend more time on the £10 sign than the perfume!
Desperate indeed Momma.

On Price-drop a moment ago, at first glance it looked as if all the items on display were being sold for £10 unless you spotted the "CREDIT" text underneath. Plus Helen kept saying £10 credit (with no mention of terms and conditions) in that screechy voice she uses; not to mention the times she slips into Peter Simon mode by saying "Not only" or "Whether it's for the..." three or four times in succession. (She's a bit like a younger, screechier version of Nicola George as a presenter.)
Plus of course that Jackpot June promotion is just desperation personified.

Someone has been looking through the computer recently, Tonight on Bid I've heard the old 3 hooter price plunge from price drop rather than the 1 which goes on forever, heartbeat sound effect and just now the price drop train bell plunge sound effect too, I hope they bring back the original megadrop sound effect too and how about the old auction avalanche sound effect as well.
maybe they're harking back to the good old days mega
or maybe they're scraping the barrel!

In an Ideal World ...
See Peter hasn't forgotten once to mentioned the ten pound credit with each sale but not once mentioned the call charge and p&p.
......Talking about pointless, can somebody tell me the point of the Bid-Plus website? Like bid's website they also do a free postage if you spend over £50, however, I doubt if you could spend £50 on there if you tried, there's that few products on it! Seriously. They've got one page of fashion, the health and beauty section contains 3 items as does home and garden, there's about half a page of jewellery, a few watches..and the kitchen section is choc full of one item, it's a frying pan and they've sold out of one of the colourways!!! It probably costs them more to keep the site open than the revenue they get from it....Get rid and try and make your other two channels more worthwhile before it's too late!
I don't understand Bid Plus full stop. Simon Davies was presenting live on Friday and the quantities were tiny and I mean really, really tiny. Also, they were selling some tatt jewellery for 1p and the scrolling banner said 'Free P+P' but the item details said £7.99, then they did exactly the same thing with a handbag. Jeez, this company make an awful lot of mistakes don't they?
And they always seem in their own favour :wink:
