Dude it’s $3 an ounce. Totally worth it.

Don't get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static... Not a fun experience.

Sometimes there are vendors or distribution rules that require that they don't post discounts publicly so people can't price match or other retailers can't demand a discount to match.

This is super common with niche hobby products I buy. Doesn’t make any fucking sense. Vendors will send out an email saying “hey we have a sale but we can’t tell you the dollar amount just the percentage until you put it into your cart.” I think it’s also common with some lines of luxury goods. You’ll find a few different reasons online if you Google “luxury brands hide price.”
