Well Plaza Lama will not give me the price of a TV over the phone.
It can be a bit frustrating, as I know that I'm not a corporate spy, and I sure as heck don't want to drive all the way to Santiago without good reason, but that's the way it is and it's a very common business practice.
I have worked in a few industries, where it was the house policy to not give quotes over the phone.
Greg obviously subscribes to that concept and it should not be attacked with a thumbs down header.
Most folks would consider it a wise business practice.
