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.
It’s not too uncommon for PC equipment. Back when Newegg was a good company, before they were bought out over a decade ago, there would be quite a few items on there that were like this.
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.”

That’s a weird logic. If I cannot find it on price comparison sites, the offer doesn’t exist.

Well you’d be in the minority so they don’t care.
That’s an odd definition of non-public if the information is available to everyone. More like annoyingly public.
I reloaded the page and it showed up.
