The best is when there are no prices and you ask one employee for the price and then ask another and their answers are COMPLETELY different. Sometimes not by just a little bit either. I've had $30 swings on the same coral!

And is it just me or are prices going though the roof?

Usually when I am out to buy livestock I have a generalized idea of what I want to spend. Having to ask for 10 prices is NOT what I feel comfortable doing when making purchasing choices. I've spent a fair amount on what I have collected since getting into the hobby about a year and a half ago... most of it from private sellers just because I would rather deal with prices upfront unless it is something really special...and I cant say I see a lot of "really special" so far from LFS... missing shipping days??

I'd have missed a lot of great deals with that attitude! No price means tons of room to negotiate!

+1. No price means its $1.00. At least that's where I start. Sometimes haggling is fun.
