This is why I think most people don't like the "PM for Price" thing. I'm sure a lot of people want to ballpark a price to see if there's even a possibility it'll fit in their budget. It seems to me that vendors would get more bites if they posted the MSRP and then said "PM for OUR price!" That way they know that the price will be below what they see. If the MSRP isn't anywhere near their budget, they won't bite, but they probably wouldn't have bitten in the first place. BUT if the MSRP is just outside their budget, they will be more likely to bite.
Frankly, I usually balk when I don't see a price. Usually "special pricing" isn't low enough below other vendors to bother.
