yet i do agree that having to ask for a price can be annoying.. grates on my nerves like someone who starts telling you a great story then walks away with out telling you how it ends.. worse than all this is a vendors website that is never updated.. or unfinished... i like to creap on these sites to see what i may want n the future.. but the page is empty.

Completely understandable from a livestock point of view, however I promise you a very large percentage of dry goods from salt, electronics, pumps, skimmers, food ect.... have something called MAP (minimum advertised price) this is done so the market is protected so everyone can make a little scratch and the large stores cannot snuff out the smaller ones.
I also agree asking for pricing can make or break my purchasing decision with a vendor.
