Don't think this will ever happen because most of the publications that we are 
familiar with depend on the advertising $$$$$$$$$ generated by those full-page 
ads every month. I do remember Matt Joseph, writing in Skinned Knuckles in the 
early 90s, railing against some of the better known publications (Cars and 
Parts, for example) for accepting the whole auction scene hook, line and 
sinker. 

As usual, caveat emptor.
