Hello,
I know 101-multimedia very well and I can assure you that they purposely redirect their domain to their Facebook page.In fact they used to provide a price list through a sub domain which I think was pricelist.101-multimedia.com and that sub domainredirected to a third-party URL [1].
I believe this is due to laziness. Besides, the price list itself is obsolete this is what annoys me personally. I quote from their page at [1]:
" Prices are updated for 11/08/2014 and subject to change if after that date. All prices are VAT inclusive and product depends on the availability of stock ~"
