I'm surprised "pricing transparency" isn't included here. A vender that requires you to call a salesperson and do the sort of negotiation on price that is mentioned here is always going to take advantage of you. My policy is: no pricing on the website, requirement to call a salesperson to talk price? No buy. I'm even willing to pay more to a company with transparent pricing that doesn't require negotiation. It gives me predictability, rather than have to worry that once they've "locked me in" they're going to jack the price and crank all the gears.
