Prices are related strictly to inventory level. Once under critical low inventory levels Buds inventory engine (which updates every 20mins) raises prices. If you learn to play the inventory level game you can save hundreds at Buds. Also, the good news is that the price will decrease again when it's restocked. This is due when they get low on stock. Prices climb back towards the retail price. Buds is in the stock game. This is why when you see something cheaper you need to jump on the deal before it goes away. Just a couple sold makes the prices rise.

This is strictly inventory level pricing Calvin. I have seen high stock, normally higher priced items ridiculously close in price to normally lower priced but lower stocked items and vice versa. Lower stock = higher price. Once you learn Buds stock level patterns you can save hundreds.
