That is considered to be the best advertising policy as they (add 
agencies) figure you'll stop and read up on the object before getting to 
the price. Likewise they turn me off, usually well before I get to the 
price.

If I go to a site that requires more than one page to get to the price, 
I leave.
I'm not including the large stores than have a catalog with separate 
price list as it's far easier to update such an arrangement than having 
to update the entire catalog.
