PrimeTime Shopping Network Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

PrimeTime Shopping Network, which held jewelry auctions over livestream, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California, court documents show.

The company estimated liabilities of $850,000, according to its January 23 filing in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.

Based in Playa Del Rey, California, PrimeTime Shopping Network has bought and sold estate jewelry for more than 24 years, and has broadcast live sales on DirecTV and online, according to its entry on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website.

The company has assets of $31.43 and fewer than 50 creditors, the court filing said. No funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors after administrative expenses are paid, the documents added.

Its Facebook and Instagram pages state that the company is on a “hiatus.” In May 2025, it posted that it was going on a “temporary vacation.” In June of that year, a post said it hoped customers’ “shopping experience” would resume in “mid-July or shortly thereafter.” It has not provided any updates via the platforms since then.

The filing names Jack Jackels, one of the show hosts, as the CEO and owner.

A spokesperson for the company declined to comment.
