What's The deal with having to PM someone for a price?
Why can't people just post what the price is in the thread? Why is it a big secret?
It's super annoying and seems silly looking at threads where everyone is asking the same question, but everyone has to get the answer in private.

Just wondering what the whole thought process was on this rule, if it is in fact a rule.

Thanks

In most cases it is because there is a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) that we as vendors and distributors have to follow or we get in trouble but we ask others to PM us for a better price than what we are allowed to post and advertise on the site.

I know it can be kind of frustrating, but once you do PM the vendors they will usually be able to talk to you and get you a better price than what is being advertised and is therefore well worth the extra step
