Not sure if OP is serious. Fingerhut built a business on selling crap on credit to people that had no business having credit. And macreme.

I am convinced they found a way to turn a profit charging off debt by selling dogshit products to fiscally irresponsible idiots. |

I guess I had long forgotten who they are.
If someone had asked, I would have said they were the ones that sold such things as A Round Tuit. The round wooden disk that was marked as A Round Tuit. You give it to whoever it is in your house who is always going to do whatever when they get around to it. Now I'm going to have to try to remember who that was |

Just went and looked. An Xbox One S 1tb is $38 a month for a total of $499.
$299 at your local Walmart. I suspect a Venn diagram of Fingerhut buyers and Biden voters looks like a single circle. |

We got the hard cover Bennett Brothers Blue Book for several years.
They sold gold table ware. I was impressed, no one I had ever been around had anything so fancy. Also sold pitiful cheap brass instruments aimed at the gullible. Mom and dad wouldn't think about buying from the place, but the catalog was cheap entertainment. |

Quoted: I just got a giant catalog in my mail from this online store called Fingerhut that's selling some ridiculously overpriced shit on credit. What the hell is this, how the hell did they even get my personal info when I never applied for it?? https://www.fingerhut.com/ They cater to people who have bad credit. That is why everything is overpriced. |

Fingerhut started out in st cloud mn selling seat covers. Then moved into other mail order stuff. Their clam to fame was you could make a 2 dollar payment on a set of bathroom towels for a year. The problem? Most customers made these small payment on a whole shopping cart of different items; continous payments. The payment book was included in your shipping box. Ted Deikel's fingerhut employed most of St cloud. When Fingerhut's owner, Federated Department Stores, decided to sell or close the company in 2002, (Tom)Petters teamed with former Fingerhut chairman Ted Deikel to buy the Fingerhut name, customer list, and buildings in St. Cloud, Minnetonka, and Plymouth, Minnesota and Tennessee. The acquisition closed in June 2002, and all of Petters's operations moved into Fingerhut's former headquarters in Minnetonka. Deikel assumed direction of Fingerhut Direct Marketing Inc., which created catalogs, and Petters operated Fingerhut Fulfillment, based at a St. Cloud distribution center.
