Contact For Price

I too find that stilly and obnoxious. It makes me immediately lose interest and scroll on. What are they hiding. Is it a bait-and-switch? Gray market or "hot" goods? Perhaps they're looking for people to rope into an MLM scheme? Or more likely they're trying to size you up to gauge how much you're willing to spend (market segmentation).

I had a recent purchase here  from a dealer listing with contact for price. The dealer was having a closeout on speakers that were being replaced with  newer models.  

I received over a $1000 dollar discount on $3200 brand new speakers. I can’t see why some have a problem with a contact for price listing!

It is also a method for a Vendor to create a communication with somebody actually expressing an interest on the actual sale item.

It separates a Customer from the ones who skim across loads of prices seen for the item type, without really being interested in most of what is witnessed.

As stated above, with a stock reduction the more successes had from closed won sales, creates a window for the Vendor to be a little more at liberty to reduce an earlier required price.    

I guess they figure if you have to ask the price then you can’t afford it 

I would really appreciate manufacturers and importers having list prices for their products on their websites. I don’t otherwise have an idea of whether the products are worth pursuing.

an example was a speaker that I was auditioning at CAF. My guess, depending upon its size and makeup, was about $8-10K. It was actually $30K, flabbergasting me.
