<<2. It is not "HSC" as that medium is very interactive and has a "Talk Show / Game Show" feel to it as well as the urgency pressure as time expires on the items. As well as being totally accessible to all non-techies and or computer literate persons. I would even propose that persons who shop on HSC are not the same persons who would purchase items through Onsale. Ask yourself as I have - A. Would you use Onsale (my answer as a business owner and computer literate user is YES) B. Have you ever used HSC (my answer is NO). Finally do you know of a person(s) who does frequent HSC and how many of those people do you see getting into eCommerce?>>

First, I think it does have the sense of urgency, remember the auction has a specified end time. And I think the crossover between the TV and the internet is occuring. Go to firstauction.com

It is the Auction website of the HSN. They sell many of the same items as they sell on HSN TV. So maybe there are similar customers on the TV and on the intenet...
