Sometimes it has to do with inventory. It also could have been a price match for a limited time at that price. It happened to me. I saw an HK for $656. I waited longer than I should have and the price went up about $140 more. It was my pleasure to give you my input.

Eric, Buds prices are based on stock level. Once stock gets low, prices can rise dramatically until out. Once restocked, prices will return to lower levels. If you learn Buds stock level trends, you can save $. Cheers!
