If so what and was it really worth it?

For example. That flex seal stuff. Didn't buy it off TV but at home depot I think. Cracked a baby pool I was using for my dog last summer. Dam stuff actually worked.

Before the internet was big, I bought a Casio keyboard for my kids from HSN. Sure am glad Amazon came along. Much more efficient way to buy stuff I don't need.

I bought some of that stuff that magically polishes silver. I was mostly curious about how it works. It does work, never really figured out the chemistry shine it though.

I also bought a pops-a-dent. Device that's supposed to remove small dents. Didn't work.

Thinking of buying that Mr. Pillow. But i hate the guy who invented it. Something sinister about that bastard. Prolly has a fetish where he breaks the legs of family pets

Fact the guy makes sure you know he is wearing a cross, with his muschate and haircut, makes me spekical.

I didn't buy this but got one for Christmas when I was 18. TV purchases were big back in the 70's, especially Ronco junk. Horrible commercial.

TV, no. Comic books, yes. The swirly looking x-ray glasses do NOT work. I was deeply disappointed and probably looked like a dork at school. I had plans of seeing so many panties.

Bought a My Pillow at Rural King for $40. If you purchase it off the website, or TV, you will have to take the $90 "buy one get one free" offer. The BBB just kicked them to the curb because the "special offer" never ends. Great pillow btw.

They also are in some sht because of false advertisement. They claim on the commercial that the pillow is approved by some medical board or something, and it never has been.

Nice to know the pillow actually works though. I had put on in the cart at Wal-Mart a few months ago and put it back on the shelf before checking out. Just couldn't bring myself to trust the commercial.

This was featured on CBS news this morning. Some BBB complaints about his b1g1free offer. People pissed because they claim it takes two pillows to equal one pillow. Idk. They had him on there to defend himself. Then when they were done, the camera came back to the anchors where one lady said "Bill was a long time drug addict who says he does this my pillow business to support his true love which is his recovery organization". Lmao I thought that was pretty low. They were really busting his balls about two daggum pillows for 19.99....I mean go to the pillow store and get two damn $10 pillows and tell me how you feel. But then to tell everyone he's a long time drug addict who just does this to support his other business/organization. Man, that's low. Let Bill live and sell his ****** pillows.

I used that to repair a cracked toilet tank, that was 4 years ago, still not leaking.

Elwood and Mash- Thanks for the heads up. I knew that rat bastard was a scam artist.

I think I'll save my money. Maybe California Waterbed will go back in business and I can get water pillows.

Wow that takes me back. Haven't heard that term in a long time. Wonder if people can still opt for C.O.D within the USA? I know it's still popular in some Asian countries.
