Oh yes it is. In my field, usually that means purchasing requires dealing with some fast speaking salesperson to 'hook you up' with their great deal so they can get a nice commission and you get an inflated price just within the maximum budget you've earmarked. It's straight out of the used car salesman playbook, trying to size up your mark to see how much juice you can squeeze out of them. If pricing was done logically scaled to some size, it would just be listed as such. If I see "call for price" or something like that, I spend earnest effort looking for a competitor that deals with me straight without having my contact info first.
