It’s reorganization of debt, not liquidation, so likely no
I actually bought something from them a few months ago, because I like red. They had the always pan and pot in red and it was marked down about 100$. I always felt they were hype at the price but I like them a lot.
And years and years ago, when it was buy what’s on TV, not the internet, I bought my first T-fal from them. So much better at the time than other similar items. It had one item back then I’d buy at almost any price if it still existed in a now ‘safer’ material and maybe even if it was just t-fal. It was a wok frying pan. Hard to describe, not a regular frying pan, not a saute pan and not a wok. Smaller heat surface than a regular saute pan, taller sides and a domed lid.
Somewhere I have a wok, should find it and donate it, too much work to keep up.
I hope it’s not the end for QVC…only because corporate and the studio is very local to me. I know several people who work there and I’d hate to see them lose their jobs.
But I can’t see the TV shopping market being sustainable much longer. It seems like the customer population that is still watching would be aging out, maybe?
@k4evryng agreed, but most of it also streams these days. They likely need to ‘mix up’ the age and style of their hosts these days and maybe cross post to other platforms (maybe they do). I remember when it was newish and a novelty to watch, especially the cooking shows
That wouldn’t surprise me at all,when companies like QVC and HSN hit trouble, their inventory usually gets liquidated somewhere. Places like Meh and Woot are basically built for that kind of overflow, so I’d expect a wave of random gadgets and overstock deals popping up soon. Could be some hidden gems in there though.

@mediocrebot The showme bot has the gift of prescience.
This affects HSN too, so no Huggable Hangers for meh just yet.

I remember when the QVC studios were the HQ for Commodore Computers.
