price-drop.tv

I first encountered Price Drop TV when we purchased our Freeview box early last year. Flicking through the channels, I noticed there were a couple of Shopping channels, namely QVC, Bid Up TV and price Drop TV. I didn't really take much notice of them - the idea of sitting there with the presenters trying to sell some obscure object really didn't appeal to me. However, I received a phone call one day from my mum who excitedly told me she had managed ...
...just £1. At first I thought she was going a bit mad - after all, what company can afford to sell bikes at such a ridiculously low price? Price Drop TV - that's who! ================= Who are Price Drop? ================= Price Drop TV are part of the 'Sit Up' TV Group, which consists of four Shopping channels and two movie channels - Matinee Movies, which specialise in family movies - usually the made-for-TV movies, and 'Bad Movies' apparently ...

Review of price-drop.tv

With the roaring success of Freeview, the battle to conquer the television shopping market is well and truly up for grabs. It seems that not a month goes by without the introduction of a brand new retail station offering us "the finest bargains available". At the front of that market is Price-Drop TV, owned and produced by sit-up Ltd - the brains behind several sister stations, all of which aim to steal away with our hard earned dosh. So who are ...
...greatest deals on the planet? Good question. Shopping via the television is a relatively new format which those without satelitte or cable may not be totally accustomed to. But the chances are, if you have the technical know-how to find this review, the premise of selling a product through the TV isn't entirely lost on you. Airing between 8am and 1am, Price-Drop TV provides short snappy bargains in the format of a uniform price Dutch auction. Unlike ...

...id got to hear about Price-drop.tv . How addicting can this channel get? Well if you’re addicted to Ebay then don’t watch this channel. You have been warned. The only reason I had to go have a look at this shopping shop was because a friend told me that they were selling a bike. The guide price was £299 and it MEGA dropped to a £1. How fantastic is that. Well I was hooked before id even looked at this home shopping channel. In the first hour id ...
...Something for everyone! price-drop.tv is on 17 hours a day seven days a week between 8.00am and 1.00am You do have to be over 18 to use this home shopping channel Okay so this is how it works. A item will come up, you will see a guide price of the item, quantity they are selling and the price drop price it is at. You will have a number to ring at the top of the screen, you obviously dial the number and all you do is press 1 to confirm your item ...

THE PROCUCTS This is quite a good shopping channel, they sell a variety of things these include clothing, cutlery, crockery, bedding, ornaments, toys, CD's, games and loads more. I have bought a coat for £15, a set of 6 mugs for £10 and a digital camera for £50 from Price Drop and they have all be of good quality. The coat was a winter coat with fur around the collar and cuffs, you know the type I mean, it was thick and warm, exactly as described, ...

The mugs are wedgewood, so good quality as described, and the camera for the price I paid was great, it has all the modern functions including zoom and video functions and included loads of software and a memory card.

You will also see a telephone number; this number is exclusive to the item being shown. Below the guide price is the quantity of items in the price drop, this varies from five up to 150 items. Below the quantity ...

Review of price-drop.tv

I must sadly admit that when I first started watching this addictive shopping channel some 8 months ago on Sky Digital, I became rather self commited to tuning in when ever I got the chance! The friendly chatty hosts must have bedazzled me and tuned my mind into thinking that 'This was the place to shop for those great bargains'!! Like everyone else, I placed an order via the telephone with a £1 charge for the call - I then realised if I registered ...
...nothing other than the internet connection I was already using !!!! No one phoned you back to confirm your winning bid and it was one swift smooth transaction. The goods arrived somewhere between one week to two weeks, which when you consider that the least you pay for P&P is about £6.99, then it's pretty naff in my opinion. How can they charge the same postal charges for a small item like a ring and a larger item like a crystal vase !! Somethings ...

Each price-drop starts with a certain quantity of a particular item for sale. You can purchase the item either using one of three methods. ...

Review of price-drop.tv

Price-drop TV is addictive. Just like it's sister channel, bid TV, price-drop TV features entertaining presenters who would do almost anything to get you to buy their products. As I type this, the channel is selling a U.S. Marshall figurine. At the moment, the price for it is £80. When I finish the review, the price for the figurine will have been slashed. Straight away, PRICE PLUNGE!! And the price plummets to £16!! These savings (albeit on things ...
...1am next day) 365 days a year. All live. Yes, there are presenters who come into the studios (which are only 5 mins away from my house!) on Christmas Day. And there are people who buy from them on Christmas day! What makes price-drop TV different from the other shopping channels is dynamic pricing. The prices do not stay the same as they do on QVC. The price falls and falls and falls. Right now, the figurine is at £13. The channels still make money ...

Price drop tv is an auction channel to be found on Sky digital 636 and is also accessible via cable. Unlike other auction channels, the price goes down instead of up and everybody who is sucessful pays the same price (the lowest).

There are 75 available this auction (each auction varies) There is a guide price for the watch, lets say ...

The moment the auction begins, a display, beginning with the guide price starts to drop very quickly, in £15 & £20 spurts......when it has dropped to a price that you consider that you wouldn't mind paying...you phone up.(details below) and this means that you are a guaranteed winner, but you will pay the price that the price clock has ticked down to buy the time all 75 watches have been bid for ...

Review of price-drop.tv

...The Difference? On Price-Drop.TV products start off at high prices and continue to fall as more people buy. On Bid-Up.TV the price goes up because people have to place a bid for the item. How Does It Work? You will see a list of information on the left hand side of your television screen. The first amount of money is the guide price. This is the RRP or a selection of the highest prices the company has found for the item. Below that you will see ...
...Do They Sell? Price-Drop.TV sell most items apart from things you can put value on. For example they can tell you a set of golf clubs is worth two hundred pound because 99% off viewers don't know how much they are really worth. But if they was so sell a popular DVD they couldn't save you any money because everyone knows how much it's really worth. The most popular items include; Pan Sets, Golf Clubs, Watches, Rings, Bikes, Cothes and dinner sets. ...

Review of price-drop.tv

"The price you see is price you pay" may be the favourite line of Pricedroptv presenters, but the fact still remains that you would actually be paying about 10 GBP more. There is no doubt that the products are good and you wont be disaapointed when the product arrives. Though I have bought only six products from the channel, i have made sure that i pay the lowest price. I will tell you how: Have you ever noticed that the channel sells the same stuff ...
...then good for you and if you havent then follow this trick. Always try to look up the website for products going to be sold that day. Now when you have selected what interests you, check what time of the day it is being sold. If it is being sold early morning (8 -9 am) or late (10 pm onwards) it is more likely that you will get the best price. For example, i bought a Russel Hobbs iron for 9.99 GBP (not including P&P) at 11.15 pm sometime last week. ...

Price-drop.tv is an excellent channel in my opinion while it doesn't have many very "great" products it does have a lot of good ones. The sunglasses are good value for money as I found out when I got some Gucci's for £1. The presenters are very funny, Nana Akua over-reacts whenever there is a megadrop, she always makes people laugh. Greg Scott is the classic "Let's make fun of myself" kind of man, He is always up for a laugh and is never in a bad ...
...cushions and they were delivered in 3 days, better than any rival channels. If you are planning on dropping in on any megadrops for the day just go on to their website (www.price-drop.tv) and look at the price-drops for the day, print them out and if you see a product that isn't on the list and you want it Grab the phone quickly as it is likely to be a megadrop and you don't waste your money on the call. ...
