BudsGunShop.com - Price increase

Hi Dale, Unfortunately Buds uses an automatic inventory price update engine that runs every 20 mins. 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.

Dale - Bud's prices are based primarily on 'replacement cost' of buying another of the same item from the manufacturer. 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.”

That's a shame Dale but, let me explain. Buds prices are tied directly to stock level. As stock levels go down, prices can go up. The opposite is that is prices also go down when stock goes up. This is a standard business model and is not unique to Buds. If you learn Buds stock level game, you can save a lot of $ on firearm purchases. (I just don't want you to leave in haste over a standard business practice Sir). You are a valuable client and I hope this information helps you better decide and save some $ in the future).
