Buds pricing is done by a computer program and it takes into consideration inventory and availability/cost (to reorder) from Buds on pricing 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.”

John, Buds prices are tied to stock level and will change according to number in stock. If you can find firearms that have been recently stocked, you can save $ by buying soon after restock. Once stock gets low, especially in the single digits, prices can rise even more. Cheers and stay safe!
