In lieu of a conspiracy theory (which is probably sometimes true - if your brother/cousin/buddy worked for Hemmings who wouldn't be tempted to ask for some cherry picking priveleges?), I'd agree with the Charlie's online scoop angle. Internet shoppers are out there in force, scanning all the time. When we have a rare musclecar at a good price, the car usually sells within 48 hours of hitting the web. The print ads don't have a chance....When our website went down for a few days last month, we got calls from people in almost 20 different states demanding we get it back up-and this was with our traderonline and Hemmings pages still fully functional. We were (pleasantly) surprised, to say the least.
