Dan, I use a field in my database for this purpose.  Have you figured
out how to nest it into a search so that the user cannot see the item by
simply changing the link in the address bar to not include the check for
that field?  Does it need to go into a search profile of some sort (I
only have experience with link based searches).  Our problem was that we
had an item which the users are dying to purchase, be shown on the
website due to a user changing the link manually and then purchasing the
item.  We'd rather not give them the chance to see items that are hidden
if possible.  Thanks!
