Most consumers hate haggling, and many don't like interacting with salesmen. Displaying merchandise without price tags creates a stressful atmosphere, before your customers even walk in the door. Many customers will suspect that it's part of a "hard sell" strategy.

I don't mind haggling, but the absence of tags makes me worry that some fast-talking salesman is going to come up and try to put one over on me. I hate that. They come up and give me a price $100 higher than MAP, thinking I'm some rube who stumbled in off the street. If it takes me more than two minutes to wise them up, it's a lost sale. If the price is on a tag, I can see that it's either a reasonable deal or that I've got my work cut out for me.
