Hi Douglas, 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.

no gun selected here is what Buds has to say on prices changing "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.

Douglas. I imagine that the stock got low or there was an upswing in market price across the board. I would still contact Buds to see if anything can be done on the current price.
