Those of you who have read my review of Bid-Up.TV will know how much I dislike shopping channels. To be short and to the point, I find them slimy and cheesy, full of TV rejects and failed second hand car salesmen. I have not, and will not, ever buy anything from one. I do not need a steel briefcase, a lapis globe or a chocolate kettle(depending ...  Read the complete review
