Default Vendor Pricing

I dont know if it bothers anyone else, but when vendors do not post pricing and ask us to PM them for a quote.... I feel that this should be a mandatory rule that a price should be posted for whatever they decide to sell. It not only makes it easier for the possible customer to aquire the price but lets everyone know what they are actually looking to spend, without having to wait for a reply. I understand that they may not want to post the price for reasons such as actual interest in the product or if its a custom pricing such as rim sizes. Is it possible that they give different quotes on products or just dont care to post the price for said items.

a lot of times they can't post the price due to agreement with distributors

It also makes sense when it comes to competition. Like other vendors trying to under cut the other.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this man knows!!! It sucks, but it happens.

Example.

CLVendor: product XYZ for $140 shipped

cust: I saw it for $30 cheaper, can you match it.

CL vendor: No I'm sorry

cust: ok, I'll wait 42 weeks for $30 cheaper

Happens all the time
