>>> I'm a big fan of "contact us for pricing." <<<

I have opposite feeling about them. They are like open invitation to give the sales guy a window of opportunity to look up your company website, and markup the price accordingly.

Exactly. Its an invitation to the used car salesman circus. I do t have time to play games with a salesman for the next two weeks. If a company doesnt have at least ballpark pricing available upfront they never hear from me and dont even know they lost a potential customer. Only huge entrenched companies can get away with that long term. That and single suppliers.

Yep, I will exhaust every option with transparent pricing before even calling the best looking option with "contact us for pricing".
