Seems like the closer it gets to Dec 25th, the more they rise. I've been stunned by a few myself. Not an inventory thing, as the 709 has over 100 in stock and rose $90 for some reason.

many tings are factored into the price 1st inventory levels low inventory =higher prices 2nd the price buds paid the distributor higher distributor price = lower minimum price at which Buds can make a profit. 3rd anticipation of demand 4th distributor and factory inventory/availability

Do you believe in magic?

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, Buds moves them to the Team Buds Only list (a benefit of being a member) as a privilege to TB members to have an opportunity to purchase before gone..

Hi Dan, Yes Buds prices raise as inventory decreases. It's like stocks. When the get another batch at a good price they lower the prices again. For the TB they actually save a few for TB members only.
