Was watching last night and to be frank it was painful unlike Bid and Pricedrop there seemed to be nobody watching it felt like I was alone.
They had quantities of about 12 of everything and they just couldn't get rid, Lisa Brash was losing her rag whatever they did no one seemed to be buying.
Wouldn't they be best dropping it and just having the other two channels, maybe it's because it's not on Freeview but I can't see it surviving if it doesn't pick up soon.
This channel DEFINATELY wouldn't survive if there wasn't bid/price-drop tv to back it up.
I was watching the other night, and kept count of everything they sold, the quantity sold, and the price it sold for:
They sold 6 products, and 32 items in total.
A shopping channel selling 32 products in a random hour cant be good..
They have to pay for;
Director
Producer
Presenter
Assistant
Camera man
Floor Manager
TV Station
TV Studio
Lights (Electricity)
- How can they pay for all of this, if they are selling 30 products an hour?!
I think speed auction should go back to rising price auctions, as everybody prefered them, and eventhough many items go for less money, when people get outbid, they get the phonecall cost back, and is more exciting, meaning more people may watch.
- Also, if they only have a quantity of 5, they are hardly going to do much worse off compared to now.....it isnt like if it gets sold below cost price they are going to loose much...its not like selling 300 or something!
I think it would just give it that edge it had all those years ago, or have this channel just for clearence items, with NO CLOCKS, so anything can go for £1, this would intice more people in!
