Only one hobby breeder's website I visited gave a price. As a buyer, some people would find it quite daunting checking out a price only to find actually it might be too expensive.

I agree. I always quote the price up front on principle, and also because I myself am very reluctant to call anyone (whatever the product) who won't tell me the price upfront. I figure if they are that reluctant to tell me the price, they know it's extortionate and / or I won't be able to pay it and will be embarrassed.

I just wondered why it is that prices are not put upfront on the website or would that make it like a market?
A cat should live for 10+ years and often pedigree pet buyers have little idea of the going price when looking for a replacement.
Just wondered what pedigree breeders' views are on this?
