It was a very abusive process. I've never been in another situation where you ask how much something costs, and they say "make an offer!" Corporate IT sales.

Corporate IT sales. Try to get a straight answer for buying 100 + Switches, Servers, etc. It's ridiculous. The only reason someone hides their pricing structure, is so they can over charge some people.
Very similar to the grocery store leaving bad fruit hidden out with the good fruit in hopes someone will buy it without checking.

To the point where there's a /r/sysadmin weekly "Am I Getting Fucked Friday" thread where people can post quotes they're being given for hardware because there is no truecar.com for corp IT sales. http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/35aipe/am_i_getting_fucked_friday_may_8th_2015/ http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/35aipe/am_i_gettin...

The best I can find is list price, but of course no one pays the list price so that's useless. The sales folks hesitate to state a price as well, saying that it varies. Of course it does.
