They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?

Have you ever noted that most expensive audio gear web sites from manufacturer to retail stores withhold prices for most items.  I find this annoying, I can afford a certain level of expense but not any.  I know you can look for sales of used gear etc. etc. but I really want to see the regular retail price, it gives me something to think about or put money aside for. what are your thoughts abut this.

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?

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…
