Often, they want to get a feel for *possible* uses of their products (so they know which other customers they can bring the product THAT YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED to their attention). I see this a lot with vaporware products... "to be released RSN" (or, maybe NEVER) Start the conversation by asking for their "rightmost column" price. Then, asking them to identify the corresponding quantity and lead time. Don't leave "contact" information (i.e., when this conversation is over, *I* will decide if we have an ongoing relationship)
