Prevents bots scraping the site and either buying it all themselves or getting listed elsewhere.

I can understand that when the site is selling sneakers or a PS3 but is there a big market on scalping CNC machines? Plus I figure it would be trivial to create a bot that would create a comment on each post asking for the price so the sites bot sends the email with the price.

Makes it harder for your competitors to undercut you in prices. Not impossible, just harder. Most locks are just to make something more difficult so you give up. They aren't impossible.

Another likely reason is that the price varies based on material/labor cost and they don't want a set price being advertised. The price probably dynamically varies.
