Q: What do you think about stores that don't post prices on products?
A: They've just lost a potential customer

+2.

I waited in line for 5 minutes at a store just to leave because I didn't want to wait for a price check.

We actually do this for a few reasons.

1.) Prices in our industry change so frequently it is just easier for us.
2.) We are not a browse and buy type establishment. Each customer gets personal sales/tech assistance. We are not Staples and don't want to be.
3.) If a potential thief doesn't know the price of items it makes it more difficult for them to target only the expensive items.

Thanks for your explanation. I think what your saying does make sense, it is just hard for us that are use to seeing prices to adjust.

Obviously you don't have a shop to run..... online prices are substantially different from in-store pricing...... We try and price everything to be competitive with the big box stores around here..... but some things will be higher, keep in mind stores have to not only pay all the overhead but also deal with returns, and warranty/doa issues etc.... $20 on 2 items is not an acceptable markup.......

Your right I don't, and I didn't mind the extra price on the processor it wasnt too bad but $45 for a liteon standard sata dvd-rom drive (not r-rw) is pretty high.

If i see prices marked, then i am more likely to stop, and consider buying it.

More than likely a sales pitch so once you ask how much you've engaged in the start of a possible sale.

A few shops near me do this. I personally find it annoying.

UK law requires that all goods, being offered for sale to consumers should be clearly price marked.

So what they are doing is illegal in the UK.
