What was he hysterically wittering on about today? Some average looking bag having a price tag of nearly £800? One they were selling for a fraction of that. There's only one type of person that suffers from these sort of lies and exaggerations, and that is the poor hard up, uninformed saps who generally watch and buy from these sort of channels, being fooled into parting with their money by grossly inaccurate and uncorroborated pricing information. No shopping channel should be allowed to quote prices like this without firm evidence that the product has been sold for that price. And at more than one seller, too. Not using some bogus RRP somewhere on some website, or nothing at all other than a buffoon like Simon picking fantasy prices out of the air. Makes me mad at times. No wonder these brash shopping television presenters live in big expensive houses and use their central heating.
BACK OFF, GOT IT?!?
Everyone knows this is how to do business.
You decide on a product to sell.
You determine its retail value, let's say £500. You are certain it can easily sell for this ALL DAY LONG.
You then take said retail value, divide it by 10, giving you £50.
You then sell the item for £50 instead of £500.
It's common business sense surely?!?
