where I stand is closer to what Draco said. I want to know if the part is in the ballpark of something I want for the price. I get annoyed at having to ask just to find out something is out of what i consider the range of cost to return. Half of my pm box is filled with asking people for pricing. It doesn't have to do with instant gratification, it has to do with understanding if an item is obtainable.
I agree with a "pm me for possible discounts" idea. that gives both camps options, you can know about where the price of the part is, but the reseller who wants to make business by under cutting other can still get that done.
Thank you vividracing for adding prices to your posts without having to be told. thats a stand up thing to do. And I agree its the way most forums conduct there business so there is a reason for it.
And to close, you don't go to a brick and mortar store and they write "see cashier for price" on there products. It just makes me feel like the places are kinda shady when they make me ask for a price to everything.

When manufactures set map pricin this means a vendor can't ADVERTISE a price lower then the map pricin how ever they can sell it at what ever they want .
I think there are two options to make people happy 1. Post a price and make sure you say like $100 map pricing . Or 2. Have the vendor pm the customer with the price .
IMO people expect everything given to them, stop being lazy .i know that will piss someone off but get Over it. It takes a minute to pm someone and ask for pricin
