I have bought a couple different items from the t.v. I really enjoy the products I purchased. I wonder how many other people buy exercise equipment or blenders from the t.v. What is your favorite. Which ones are no good or didn't work for you?

I actually have never bought anything from the TV.
For me I like to be able to see the product in hand and normally they just started so I wait a few months to see the reviews on the item. A lot of times they are too good to be true.
And then once you wait a few months it is always out in the store no matter what and by then you don't have to pay the outrageous shipping and handling prices and also you will normally get a better price.
So its win win for me to wait :)

yeah I've seen a product I bought from t.v. in stores months later. I didn't feel bad about the price I paid through the t.v. because the thing worked so it wasn't a biggie. Now if I bought something and I thought it wasn't worth what I paid for it, but I still decided to keep it then I'd be mad if I saw it in stores. I have also waited to see something in the stores because I did think they were charging too much.

I don't think if television infomercials have good products which can worth for buy. The fact is their products are very expensive and it's hard to get discount from them. They usually offering some products together at one price, so there's no discount on price, but there's some bonus products (claimed as bonus, but the fact is the price is included already). I think the price is expensive can be understood since using tv broadcast for their selling media also cost them high cost. But It doesn't mean we must pay more for a common product which actually can easily be found on the market. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Yes, I bought some items from television commercials. Some products are good and some are not.
Maybe, I was amazed by which they have convinced me to purchase the said products. They covered free delivery charge also.

i always though of purchasing it when watching the infomercials...but never actually bought anything! it was so neat while watching! but it is like 3 seconds fever!!! hahah...
i think they will give you a period of trials right? you can try them out then only decide later! but you have to pay for some transaction fee!!!
