Just as important as the 0days themselves is keeping public who bought them. 0days, in many cases, are weapons. By keeping this market and it's transactions in the open perhaps we can keep the purchasing parties a little less evil, or at least drive up their costs.
This market, to me, looks very similar to the weapons industry. The more open it is the better for everybody. The other commenters are correct, this market isn't going anywhere. We may as well shed light on it.

That sounds ridiculous, I think. As soon as that is made public, there will instantly appear another market where that info is not made public, and most buyers will switch to that new market, sellers will follow as well.
The more public the market is, the less effective it is. WabiSabiLabi tried (and failed) to create an eBay for exploits years ago. The item of value is the information, not necessarily the code. As such, the more information is provided gratis, the less it is worth overall. In theory, a nice principle, but it is directly opposed to the forces that drive the market.
