Steve,
There's no reason to feel intimidated by catalogs with no pricing! In
fact, you may want to see this as an opportunity!
The reason pricing is not posted is most often because it is "variable".
If you can 'figure out' the reasons for the variability, you may be able
to get a better price!
Sometimes it will simply be volume, and you just won't win. But other
times pricing can be pretty subjective...
Never forget that the person on the other end of the deal IS A PERSON,
and has hopes, fears, dreams, needs, just like you.
You are doing him or her a favor by seeking to give them some of your
hard earned money for something they have which you value. As long as
you don't wear out your welcome (and just remembering the "is a person"
above will do much in this regard) you have nothing to fear.
Everybody is "dumb as rocks" about something! So go for it!
Hope this helps.
