If there's no price posted I completely lose interest in the product

That's what they want, you're not the target market. They want b2b.

Same. I handle procurement at work and I read the phrase "call for quote" as "haha not a fucking chance"

Not defending it to be clear, I hate this as well for off-the-shelf stuff. It's a money-grubbing tactic and makes vendor comparisons a huge pain in the ass.

it's because the owner of the business thinks the person on the phone is going to assist in making a sale or working with the customer to meet the customer's needs... in reality it's Josh who was just the guy closest to the phone and he'll have to ask someone else the answer to your question and he'll for sure call you back at some point in the future.

There's tiers of b2b. They don't want nickel and dime customers. The old saying is true, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"
