I was watching Sally this afternoon and she was "bigging up" this reversible raincoat, black on one side, animal print on the other, quite nice, but quite flimsy looking - typical sit up quality.
After much hype from our Sal, by the time it came to air, about 20 people had already jumped onto the phonelines before the starting price had come up, they continued to flood the phonelines, and two entire sizes had sold out again, before the start price was shown. Eventually the ridiculous price of £79.99 flashed onto the screen, sorry but you wouldn't even pay that much for a thin rainocat in John Lewis or Debenhams let alone the rest of the high street! It dropped down to £69.99. I expected it do go down a couple more times through the £50's and £30's and stop around the £18 -£20 mark. People were still frantically dropping in at this stage then it ground to a defiant halt at £34.99! Add your p&p, add your phone call and it's cost you £44.51 -ridiculous! Now you'd pay that sort of money for a decent lightweight coat in M&S....And I seriously doubt that this Price drop version would come anywhere near in terms if quality. Anyway, they put a clock on, so that obviously locked that silly price in. I wonder whether the people ringing expected that to happen.
They'd also be pretty gutted if they looked online now....It's £24.99 with no phone call charge either- What's going on here?
