Cody - buds prices are determined by the price the manufacturers will charge Buds to replace the item in question. Here is their explanation of how their prices are set, copied directly from Buds web site: “Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day.” Stock levels are not the determining factor. Also, make sure you are comparing like items .. not a Gen 1 with a Gen 2, for example.

wait a few days and it may be different from Buds "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly.

Cody, it is simply due to the "Safety" version having many more units in stock. Buds prices are tied directly to stock levels.

Cody, All has to do with inventory and re-stocking prices. Just keep an eye on this offering the price will change again.
