I would argue acting in a mainstream advert for a huge company like ladbrokes is a big step up from BID TV and QVC. Steve is clearly moving upwards, where as you seem to be rooted in exactly the same spot

I know a buyer who left because they couldn't bring in any products. The margin they want means most suppliers would have to sell at a loss. Especially with all their extra terms and conditions that chisel away further at the price. At the end of the day a buying policy like that leaves you...

The reason they have so few products is pretty simple and also pretty stupid. They insist on making a 50% margin on everything they sell. A rather restricting policy to say the least. There's very few (As you've noticed) products that allow for that sort of margin- Add to that their payment...

That will be it then lol

I had my fingers crossed that a new bid would pop up too. Alas I feel that unless the likes of TK Max or Robert Dyer set up a channel it would be impossible for anyone to compete with the online market . And more and more of the shopping TV audience are finally coming round to online shopping...

Bid TV claimed to have made £2m profit the year before the went under with debts of £73 million - it's amazing what a creative accountant can do.

I'm so sad BID is no more.for a while I thought it might make a return somehow but alas it was not to be.

BID TV presenter selling BID TV products in a BID TV way and using the vague hint of a charity donation to motivate buyers? How is this channel not getting slaughtered by the members of this forum?

I barely watch shopping channels these days. Not since BID UP disappeared. But have flicked over to IW a few times recently. Mainly through boredom but also because a friend told me the state the channels are in and I wanted to see for myself how bad things are - I didn't have to watch for long...

I havent watched Gems in a while. when did they hire a female impersonator? he's very excitable!

so .. basically. your on a crusade to show everyone in the UK the products available in poundland just incase they are not aware that the products they buy elsewhere because they dont want to shop in such a scuzzy shop as poundland are actually cheaper in poundland? do you work for poundland?

no you dont lol :mysmilie_17:

Has anyone noticed he BID SHOPPING ad on this forum? it says 'britains largest auction and fixed price shopping channels' very interesting ...

www.bid.tv please visit the above site and 'BID' on any of there available products. i love a well informed post lol

who the heck do you think bids customers are? that they shop solely and exclusively on bid tv? they dont do a weekly shop at a supermarket or watch adverts on TV or open a newspaper or speak to other human beings? they just live in a shack in the woods eating leaves and buying solar figurines...
