Advantages: Price, entertainment

Disadvantages: postage and call charges

Bid TV is a hoot to watch. There's something about the shopping TV presenter that's both desperate and endearing. There's a hysteria that's very attractive after 11pm.
Bid works like many shopping channels - on the reverse auction strategy. The price drops until the entire quantity has gone. Bid have the added advantage of being able to sell, under their own cost price for an item - as call and postage rates more than make up for the shortfall. It's an interesting concept and the buyer/viewer doesn't always miss out. When a company sends out millions of parcels a year - they'll get a great rate. We don't know that rate, so items still look to be fantastic value. Everyone's a winner!
If you want household items, a few quirky one-offs or the odd treat at a great price, without leaving your armchair - go for it. Bid TV is an institution - just make sure you're selective about your purchases...or your home will start to look like an argos end of season sale.

Summary: Try it...don't always buy it
