PLEASE all the credibility goes out the window !!!

I haven't watched or been tempted to even flick the channel. They have lost a good customer. i used to buy a lot. Wonder why they feel the need to keep making these stupid claims :down:

I like to play a game when I'm watching GemsTV, I call it "Guess How Long It Will Be Before The Presenter Comes Up With Another Cropper Of A Lie About Cost/Loss/Potentially Getting The Sack If The Boss Is Watching".....it's a bit of a mouthful, but it's never long before they do and the game's all over! :dull:

"I wouldn't be allowed to say this if it wasn't true".

Steve/Sarah B "I hope Steve/Sarah isn't watching this".

I'm prepared to accept that they occasionally sell at a loss, either to shift stock that isn't selling or as a 'loss leader' - something which most retailers do.

What I do NOT believe is all this codswallop about hoping the boss isn't watching in case the presenter gets the sack, taking the price too low by mistake, getting special authorisation from management to take the price lower, and other such porkies; nor do I believe oft-repeated claims that this is the most amazing piece the presenter has ever seen. It's possible that some newbie and/or extremely gullible viewers may actually believe this tosh, and it's unethical to mislead them in this way (even if it rakes in more sales); for the rest of us, it simply damages Gems' credibility, as others have said. (Not that Gems are the only perpetrators, by a long way.) I wonder what would happen if someone complained to the ASA about these bogus claims? I suppose it would be pretty hard to prove whether an item was or was not the most amazing gemstone a presenter had ever seen, which is why they think they can get away with it.

I actually like Gems TV, buy from them and don't often knock them, but I've simply had enough of this. Please, Steve, stop it!

Some of the TJC presenters are also guilty of saying they will be in trouble for selling at too lower price, so stupid.

Hello Argey, have missed you so much love Yvonne xx

Oh purrrlease did you see the theatrics of the Lorique 101ct kunzite? Lynn saying she believed it shouldn't sell for that price, getting her producer to say the amount as she thought it should go back to the vault blah blah BS.
