Their method of doing business is doomed to failure as this phony falling auction model is a time waster as well as insulting to an educated public. They could sell MORE if they simply gave the actual selling price and described the items in detail. Their acting skills wont win them any awards either. Are these hosts here to sell or create a cult of personality!
Also... their smackdowns are phony and at times fraudulent. Example: a diamond ring i have been interested in has been 399.99 for the longest time, and the price was raised to 499.99 yesterday, for the diamond smackdown so they could then reduce it to the price it has been all along.. If that isnt unethical or fraudulent.. I dont know what is!!
