I wonder if USN is a division of Superior. Both are based in Los Angeles.

I'm still trying to figure out how this is going to work. Looks like all the bidding will be done through Ebay but they'll show the live bids on USN. But will someone be able to call in and place a bid as well?

I couldn't find any information about the auction on Superior's or USN's websites. It'd be interesting if Superior decided to telecast their various auctions at each of the major shows as well.

56 items, maybe a half-hour show? Perhaps they are testing the market-----------------BigE

With that line up and range of values on items, it looks to me like Superior is testing the waters for its own version of a coin tv program.

Pictures are a little fuzzy on the ones I looked at so far. But I will be watching ch 345 on the 4th to see what happens.
