This pistol has been running for just under $200, now it's $278. I have found it on other sites for the old price, why is Bud's suddenly charging way more than retail stores and gun shops?

Question

James G. · Answer

Robert, Buds prices are tied directly to stock levels. This pistol was a big hit during Christmas and supply has nearly been depleted so the price has risen correspondingly.  Once supply/stock goes back up, price will go back down.

Randy I. · Answer

Buds software adjusts the prices about every 20 min based on inventory as inventory goes down price goes up  If you are not in a hurry keep checking on the gun the price will go back down then put it on layaway with a CC to secure the gun and freeze the price. you will have 90 days to pay it off

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. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day."
