If you waste my time by hiding the pricing on your website, it's just fair that I'll waste your time in return.
So whenever a site has hidden the pricing, I'll submit a few requests to make sure it costs them just as much time as it cost me.
“I am a jerk trying to annoy you”
“I am a bot scraping your web site”
“The people setting up the website are incompetent and a blank entry was just added to the database”
“I am a dishonest salesperson with a harebrained scheme to pad my metrics”
I do think we just found the poster who has not worked in sales, though. Please, be sure to count your blessings!
