>What is the logic behind not naming the price?
Trying to sell you on the product before you actually see the price. For many people, they'll turn down a product because of the price and no amount of cajoling will fix that. By hiding the price until the last possible moment, businesses bank on the customers "love" of the product overriding their initial misgivings due to price.

Ahhh. That makes sense, thanks! So, then, the price on these listings will often be market price or nothing special, right? If even a bit inflated?

Forcing you to call them will allow them to put you in a databse of buyer, and then you have pajeet call centers calling you 24/7 to sell you shit

Because if they get you to call, you've already made a "time" investment and you're less likely to turn it down

And this makes up for everyone they lose because their front-line ad is "we probably have shitty prices and we definitely don't respect your time"?

Yes. A lot of business rely on the fact that ~75% of people are lazy, inattentive, unintellectual, and susceptible to manipulation.

More or less, yeah. Odds are good that if they're not willing to disclose the price up front, they're trying to rip you off.

So is it custom to barter with people with these types of listings then?

>>2735219
Depends on the product and business. For houses and cars, it's generally expected to barter, as is dealing with individual sellers. However, a business using these tactics on general goods expects you to pay their price and no amount of haggling will change that.
