Ever buy anything from those infomercials on TV

Lots of things look good on there to me. I've never ordered though. I'm watching the one for the "Hercules Hooks" right now...
 
The only time i ever got something 'As seen on TV' was in one of the stores that sell that crap. Ordering it over the phone is just asking to be spammed by mail and telephone for the rest of your life.
 
"Just set it and forget it!" The Ronco Rotisserie.
Except, Aldis had the exact same rotisserie under the brand name Crofton.
1/4 the price. I watch the Ronco commercial for cooking ideas. I've had more incredibly good meals from that rotisserie than from any other cooking device in my home.
 
nope, and never will.

But I think I just saw the dumbest one yet. It's basically a thing you strap to your hand with a bunch of led's on it. It's supposed to "heal your pains with the led infrared light." It looks like it costs about $2 to make and they were charging $80 for it. I can't believe people buy that crap.
 
Heh,
Someone should make a website that links to products nearly identical, but at a fraction of the on-tv price.
 
I bought a pair of "Walkfit" http://www.walkfit.com/ soles for my sneakers.

Holy crap, they are awesome. No more foot or back pain.

I bought a second and third set a few months after and even gave one as a gift.


For me, they work, and I didn't have to spend $200+ on custom made ones.

I'm considering purchasing the Little Giant ladder.
 
I like watching the infomercials, and some of the items are indeed good, but the S&H will kill you. Most "Made for TV" items are available at Target a little while after they are on TV, for about the same price, without the outrageous S&H fees.

I have the little giant ladder. I bought it about 7 years ago before the imfomerrcial made it famous. I use it daily inspecting roofs for insurance claims. I bought it from amazon for alot less than the imfomercial price. Great ladder. You can get a knock off version from costco or sam's for $99.00.
