Same reasons folks avoid listing prices in newspaper ads on occasion.
(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.
