Ever wonder why your local cable TV company shows so many home shopping channels? It may be because your local cable TV operator may be getting a “piece of the action” or share of the profits on every sale that comes in from the area that your cable operator serves. It is a windfall profit for the cable operator.
Compared to “big city” retailers and deep discount stores the home shopping channels may too often be offering somewhat overpriced merchandise. Also, what home shopping channels do not tell you is they may experience up to 50% returns of the merchandise purchased from a home shopping channel.
