Sites that make you put stuff in the cart to see how much it costs

This is an annoying new trend it seems - Voxengo's site is a good (bad) example - no prices upfront - just went there now and there is still something in the cart from last week when I needed to check a price - this an instant off-putter to me - web-shops should be open and transparent about their prices.

I never understood this also, do they think because we put it in the cart now we have to buy it?

Discount prices aside, a huge +1 and another +1 for the the fact that each vendor should write in big fat bold letters "VAT may apply!", especially for international shops and if an impressum (legal notice) is missing.

I fell for that with the recent WavesFactory sale. And don't let me get started in IKM. And the kicker is, that you pay the VAT amount of the country the company is residing at. At least until the VAT system is overhauled next year.

As long as the price is good I'm happy with that (from a 3rd party vendo)r. Audio Deluxe usually gives a good deal, and then a bonus in the cart.

But on an actual Dev's site it's a little bit irritating.

To be fair to Voxengo, their prices are discounted the more you add to the cart, as well as on the basis of what you already own. They also have a full pricelist page accessible via their shop page.

That's more helpful but I can't see a link to that unless you click on cart - maybe it could be clearer from the front page or better still, have the price with each product, which is where most people would expect them to be. At least I know where to look now but you would not normally do that unless you already had something in the cart.
