Should Manufacturers Post Prices In Ads

You have $1500 to spend for a preamp and you spot a sexy unit advertised in Stereophile. The ad pitch is compelling so you decide to spend the next 15 minutes of your life calling the company or contacting the website to find an authorized dealer. Guess what happens next ? Your dream preamp sells for $15,000 not $1500 and zap you are back here looking for a used classic. If manufactures had the nerve to post prices on their ads they could save the dealer and us a lot of time and trouble. If this has ever happenede to you how did you feel about it ?

Looks like a fish didn't like my post and gave me -2 -2.

Pretty chicken for a mere ten words.

My original point was that prices in ads save everyone from the consumer to the dealer a lot of time and trouble. You either agree or not it's that simple. My mistake for not making it a direct question. Nuf said.

Hi Stokjok. I agree that prices make things easier -- no doubt about that -- it's just that not all advertising is put together that way. And that's by design. Some sauce is on the side and some sauce goes on top, if you know what I mean.

Agreed, nuf said. I guess I was too literal in my take on your post. Sorry for the "lame" reference.
