It makes you wonder who their target audience is, how dumb they think they are, and how a total disregard for brand trustworthiness helps them.

I sometimes see things on HSN (as I'm flipping channels at ninja speed) that catch my eye. I back up to take a longer look. I think...'hmm, that looks like a good deal', and I watch further. I've even purchased a few items over the years, and all worked as advertised, even if I came to find out later perhaps a bit overpriced.

But this silver thing is just silly. Anyone with an internet connection and a calculator app can see that this is a 100%+ markup...while their pitchmen make it sound like a screaming deal.

Far as I'm concerned that's my takeaway. HSN = 100% over market.

When I see those HSN type of salesman, they remind me of the 1980’s sleazy televangelist. Just buy this overpriced Kilo of silver, these valuable 1982 proof sets, they keep fleecing the flock so he can buy a private jet.

Another one that makes me laugh is the commercial for the gold clad buffalo coated with 14mg of PURE 24k gold! :roll:
