I've been noticing the same thing about so many sites in the UK lately. And it's the IT related industries that seem to be the very worst it. I was gathering some competitor intelligence for most of this week and noticed that there were very very few sites that were transparent with their pricing. Its wrong on a few levels, but when everyone else around you is doing the same thing sometimes its not so obvious how bad for business it really is.

we're setting all our sites up with transparent pricing now.
