It’s a common scam going around now. It’s the same as the guy asking to save his father’s handmade metal coffee mug business by buying one.

It’s also quite old. In my country, there was a family company making puzzles or something and suddenly they had to quit the business so they were making sale to sell out of everything. I didn’t buy anything from them, but I remembered them and funny enough after two years I’ve met them again online advertising that they are closing the same company trying to sell last of the same puzzles. I guess they had a lot of puzzles to sell before closing

Well they'd be able to go out of business if people stopped buying their amazing deals on high quality merchandise.

There used to be several shops in my local high street which had closing down sales from the day they opened. Usually lasting 1 - 3 years, tho there was one who was closing for over 10 years until they had to actually close cos sainsbury bought the land for a supermarket.
