A lot of time when there’s something like that, I’m fine not having a firm number, but it’s nice to have at least a ballpark idea of cost. (I found this particularly egregious with musical instrument pricing where I didn’t know if I was looking at a $1000 instrument or a $20,000 instrument, so I generally assumed that these would be cases where I clearly couldn’t afford it so best not to wonder—not to mention the cases where the list price was often as much as double the actual street price for an instrument).
