I tackled this by adding a MAP flag to the product table and the associated admin, then a bit of logic that causes a "see our price" button.  Clicking that button displays a popup wiht the pricing information and the discount savings. On other sites I have also displayed an explanation/disclaimer as to why this is necessary.

Example: http://www.marineproductsoutlet.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idc ategory=0&idproduct=354

Edit "Viewprdcode.asp" as such. Maybe we can put this issue to bed.

Enjoy,

Chris

'edit price information here to display list price------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -  
  'START - Visually separate prices from other information. Don't use if layout is One Column.
  if pcv_strViewPrdStyle <> "o" then
   response.write "<div class='pcShowPrices'>"
  end if
 
  ' Display the online price if it's not zero
  if (pPrice < pListPrice) and (pcv_intHideBTOPrice<>"1") then
   response.write "<div class='pcShowProductPrice'>"
   response.write "<img src=images/salecart.gif border=0>"

   'response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_3")
   'response.write scCurSign & money(pPrice)'change this to pListPrice
   response.write "</div>"
   response.write "<div class='pcShowProductPrice'>"
    response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_20")
    response.write "<span class='pcShowProductListPrice'>" & scCurSign & money(pListPrice) & "</span>"
    response.write "</div>"
    response.write "<div class='pcShowProductSavings'>"
    response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_4")
    response.write scCurSign & money((pListPrice-pPrice))
    'response.write "<br>"
    response.write "</div>"
   else

The MAP issues seems to come up for a number of people. Myself included.

It would be a good feature for Product cart to add a MAP 1/0 flag, as standard, to the attributes for each product and then have an if clause in the viewprd.asp and viewcat*.asp file. If MAP =1 then read MAP message if not show price etc. Simple but useful. 

Custom coding requires adding an extra table, which is more complicated than needed.

Just my opinion.

You have to edit viewprd.asp and viewcategories.asp. Look for list price and online-price.

http://www.offroadunlimited.com/ProductCart/PC/viewPrd.asp?i dcategory=1798&idproduct=665

Check this out. It was a simple "if then statement" and making sure the online price is lower than list. I display the list with strike-through and the discount and hide the online-price.

Thanks Chris...fidjiti,I sell many different product, and only the electronics that I have started to add need MAP pricing, everything else I am ok on, so no need to MAP everything.

I will hit Elance.com to find someone to do this.

Thanks for the input

Oh, also I think maybe this post would be good to read, for more ideas on how to show or not show the pricing. Brainstorming! You could change the text which says "price" to whatever you want.  http://www.earlyimpact.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=906& ;KW=list+price

Just an idea. I have removed the "list price" from showing up on my site all together. It was just a matter of hiding the code in which the "list price" is shown. I can't remember what that code was or what page I had to edit, but I know it can be done.

If you had MAPs on all of your products and wouldn't need to show the "online price" for any of the products except during checkout then, I guess you could probably just edit the code to simply never display the "online price" just like I removed the "list price" from all of my pages and even the ajax bubble. The pages you'd need to edit would depend on how you've decided to display your products in categories and the actual product pages.
I don't think you'd need a developer, because I am not a dev. and I was able to change the code with some guidance. You just need to know what code you need to change once you have the pages ready. Make sure you always back-up the files before you change them.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Hope that helps and makes sense.
