| 418770 | 2006-01-09 04:55:00 | LOL You sure that fantasticware is that cheap to make? Can you buy the same thing in the 2 dollar shop? I don't think so. |

| 418771 | 2006-01-09 05:05:00 | The $2 shop might not stock the exact same stuff . . . but think about what most stuff costs from the factory? A DVD player which retails for $69 can't possibly cost more than $10 or $15 at the factory (by the container load) . An "abdomenizer" for $39 . 95 will cost much less than that . . . the rubber band would be the most expensive part . Plastic moulding is cheap . If you remove most of the normal distribution chain and sell only with cheap television infomercials, 99% of the price is markup . If people are buying the goods without seeing them, the quality doesn't have to be very high . I've seen some fairly good looking knives in a $2 shop . I'd buy those rather than buy a $39 . 95 set from an infomercial . :D |

| 418773 | 2006-01-09 08:01:00 | Hey fair comment and fair warning. I was just wondering about peep's experiences with these products. All this stuff probably ends up at the back of the shed after not too long. Then eventually to the transfer station. Tsk. | mark c (247) | ||

| 418775 | 2006-01-09 08:37:00 | Of course I buy from Infomercials, I mean the stuff must be real good to be on TV . Then I sell it on TradeMe for a profit . If you think the public are gullible regarding buying from infomercials, then you will not believe how gullible they are on TradeMe . Made $13,000 last year! |

| 418777 | 2006-01-09 22:00:00 | Haha manicminer I do the same with my freebies from FlyBuys . I pick up the blender/pie maker/rice cooker whatever the points can get then sell it locally . Made $29 . 00 last year . Suprising you can sell it for a profit on trademe tho a friend did buy a mem stick off trademe then saw it cheaper in the Warehouse . Another friend opted in for the Pilates fitness course (from Infomercials) and didn't like it and cost her $30 . 00 to get out of it . They were very pushing, saying things like "You enetered into a contract with us agreeing blah-blah coz you called this particual 0800 number and now you owe us . . . " Wouldn't touch it now . Says when she gets fat and ugly and old looking it'll be a Pilates fault . |

| 418778 | 2006-01-10 10:25:00 | Sorry I took so long to respond, but l just had to look though my growing DVD collection, I could not find any links to Infomercials, I wonder if you can get them on DVD and how much, I did a search for "Infomercials series 1", at amazon even tryed "The best of Infomercials" I guess I just lost out again. |
