(1) They don't want the high price to turn away potential buyers before they get a hook in them, or (2) they want to give the impression that the price is so low that if they publish it they will be overwhelmed with more buyers than they can handle (a situation that they desperately seek). Some advertisers even overtly make the latter claim ("Price so low we cannot publish it for fear of the response!!") Yeah, right, fact is, they are trying to provoke the response they claim to fear.
