They may have gotten a better deal from the distributor Here is how buds pricing is done "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."

Buds uses an automatic inventory price update engine that runs every 20mins. Prices are tied directly to stock levels and will change as stock numbers change. As inventory numbers go down, prices go up and vice-versa. Usually when popular items get low in stock.

Any number of variances could be in play here Scott. More models in stock could = "lower price" and less in stock = higher price. So it is possible to see a higher stock - usually more expensive firearm less than a normally lower priced, lower stock firearm.
