Price discrimination
ErrantX: There are combinations of reasons for this.Firstly to impede competitors a little (always worth doing).Secondly because it encourages people to ring your sales line and talk to a human - a sale is a LOT more likely then.Also it is likely the product is in the realms of enterprise or business class. Quotations might need to be customised etc.People looking for this level of product are probably less worried about the price point.And finally it is the kind of behaviour companies expect. They WANT to ring you up and be quoted.
