They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?

I'm going to swim upstream and disagree with the common belief that " if you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it." If I'm shopping for let's say a frying pan I look to several factors to determine what I will purchase. Does it feature even heat distribution, safe non-stick cooking, durability of design, reputation of manufacturer, and the cost all play a role in my selection.
I'm pretty sure I can afford any frying pan I want.

I call after hours and leave a message to get a price that the dealer can leave on my phone message then call back if I feel the cost is worth it to me.  I can buy 100K speakers, but I still want to know the price, or I won't even bother with that company. They want you on the phone, so they can pitch their product or sell something else.

"I can buy 100K  speakers i" ; would you buy 100K speakers, are 100K speakers in your present budget?   

Prices are not cool to rap about dude!!!!

I don’t see any difficulty finding high end pricing as it’s seemingly always mentioned in reviews and often in simple audio show blurbs, and if this is really an issue why not call a dealer? I also like high end watches and sports cars that certainly would seem to fall into the cliche’ zone of "if you have to ask," but Ferraris and Richard Mille watches generally always state the price someplace…although I don’t plan to buy a million dollar watch anytime soon (there’s one Mille with fancy colors painted on the movement I kinda like…around a million bucks…still…maybe get a used one later...), I know it’s price…and often think, "maybe I could get them to come down a few hundred thousand." Bargains…I like bargains…
