     Not really. Hiding part of the contents normally available to
subscribers would not make sense. For one thing, it would take just one
subscriber to 'spill the beans'. For another, you miss out on showing
some wares you are proud of.

     Opening the contents to viewing by everyone could help attact new
subscribers. Still, if managers of the for-pay sites prefer to keep
things as they are, fine.
