Mark, this is mainly because more of this particular model were acquired at a much better price point. Buds should be able to answer the Police Markings question at LiveChat (available from 9AM to 9PM 7 days a week), the "Blue Chat Button" at the bottom right of the page, or phoning at (859) 368-0371 (available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday).
because Buds prices are set by a computer program sometimes you see strange things (like this) here is what buds says about pricing "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."
I would assume the price is lower because it is marked "Team Buds" members only. If you look at the lesser quality guns, they are higher than this one but not listed as Team Buds.
