How long in QVC

Dinaki — Wed, 13 May 2020 22:37:06 GMT

Myself from a very long time. I recall when I first stepped into thic country, I was fascinated to use the telephone, watch the tele and ordering stuff that I fancied.

I recall back then, QVC had a different name, CVN I think and I first bought my first hand purse from CVN.

I also recall, a fabulous lady called Miss Kathy Levine, very nice sales reprensentative.

The year I purchased from QVC (CVN) was somewhere early 90's.

My cable system showed QVC from the beginning, I never saw CVN. At first we all laughed at it, thinking it was hokey, and some of the products were weird, but my first purchase was a gold herringbone bracelet, and I was hooked. Kathy was fun and I swear she could sell anything.

Like you I go way back to the CVN days. I remember watching Mary Beth when she was on CVN. Don't remember what my first purchase was. Another host I recall from CVN was a very spirited guy named Tony Mann. (think that was his name) Anyone else remember him?

I got a VHS tape rewinder that looked like a 1957 Chevy from QVC.

And I do remember some weird things the Q sold back in the day. Do you remember that pooping moose candy dispenser? I still laugh about that one!

I ordered a sterling silver heart pin. I think it was 1986. In the beginning I ordered alot of sterling jewelry. I bet most of us can recall the first item we ordered?

Those hideous doll lamps that Kathy had to hawk! I also enjoyed Eve Rocher skin care and got me into nicer cleansers and toners

Kathy talked about how not only did she host shows but helped to pack and mail. Can one imagine?

Aww, I liked Kathy Levine also. I think my first purchase was a diamonique ring.

I'm with happycat01. First purchase in 1996 was a Diamonique ring with Kathy Levine. By the way, she was selling Nutri-System on HSN last week. She said the food was better, not so much salt.

Back in the early nineties. Probably jewelry. I started watching because of Kathy Levine.

I've been with QVC about 30 years - back in the day when they had some kind of 'wheel' that they spun around and by chance, somehow, I won the delivery of flowers from QVC. I don't remember much more about it than that - loved the flowers though.

I'm a newbie, compared to many here. I've been with QVC since 1999, I believe.

Oh man, back then they sold a lot of fine jewelry and that's where you'd find me. Although ValueVision had the best fine jewelry and gems, I also bought my share at QVC as they really did have pretty good quality. Kinda glad they just pretty much only sell costume now, as I don't need any more jewelry.

I still have QVC clothing items from back in those years, many of which were actually made in the USA.

Are you referring to the Fashion Formula clothing line?

Yes! That's definitely one of them. I really liked their line. I could be wrong, but I think I recall seeing some older D&C pieces that were also made in the USA.
