Are there any sites out there using Ubercart without prices? Is that possible?

I need to build a website with a shopping-cart. However, it's a shopping cart with variable prices. The final price depends on additional factors that would be captured after placing the order by phone. (their business is traditionally handled by phone because it has so many variables). So instead of a price, and/or total price, it would need to show something like "TBD" or "Contact for Price".

If all you need is for it to display a TBD price until processed through admin backend, I wonder if you could simply set your prices to $0, theme your displays to display "TBD" if $item->price == 0, then simply override the price through the backend when you get the info and process the order?
