Ask HN: “Contact us for pricing” nonsense

I am looking to purchase advanced communication device manufactured by specific vendor - but every single website has this "Contact us for pricing" links.

This certainly is an invitation to sales dance and subsequent spam.

I'd rather avoid that and buy from reseller/store that is clear and opened about their pricing.

This "contact us for pricing" approach certainly doesn't help to win business (at least mine).

Just wonder if this kind of policies are dictated and enforced by actual manufacturer or is that a habit of a specific industry?
