Some of the items were sold last year (I bought the set of 5 Lenox china ornaments last year), but I wouldn't assume they're all returns, or even most of them. Some items are sold every year (wrapping bags, flash pad).

I don't think QVC warehouses items from year to year, they have several outlets to get rid of 'out of season' merchandise, including their outlet stores and you can buy pallets of merchandise wholesale from QVC.
Lots of ebay sellers buy the pallets for resale on ebay.

Everything that is not categorized as new is last years merchandise. That being said it can be last years merchandise plus a couple of new colors and they will call the item new. It has been my observation if something sells well the price will rise at Christmas and if not it will remain the same as the CIJ price and maybe a tad more.
I did purchase and got 2 sets of tree decorations last week from last years stock and neither were returned items. They were on Q
sale so I saved a whooping $2 but due to the new shipping policy it cost me $9 more.

There are new items, improved old items (design changes) and old items. The prices are usually best during these shows. The best part is, you have until January to return them if there's a problem. You are likely to get leftovers and returns if you buy closer to Christmas.

The majority of the outlet inventory are returns, washed, worn and pretty beat up.
