Dunno, I've gotten some pretty good deals on unpriced items all over. I guess it's the opportunities not missed that make asking worth it time and again.
As far as in antique shops, the good shops call their vendors immediately if something isn't priced and let them know an interested party is asking.
More times than not, like 99-1, when an item is not priced and you ask, the price stated is enough to make you bend at the knees, maybe it is the same as rejection, you just get sick of the same old response. when was the last time you saw an item in an antique store with no price tag on it?
