I've never understood dealers who don't put prices on their stuff. I'd rather price my items when preparing for a show, when I have some time to think about it than try to wing it on the spot later. As a collector it always made me suspicious that the dealer was going to try to figure out how much of a sucker I was before he gave me a price. Like others here have said, I would just pass on by if there was no price unless I REALLY wanted an item that wasn't priced. Likewise putting prices on the back, obviously designed to create interaction with the customer so the dealer could give him a sales pitch. I've always thought that dealers who do these things are costing themselves sales.
