why are the green and purple sets cheaper than the other colors? What is the diffrence?

I'm not sure. The set I got was an aqua green color in a small and labeled as "aqua lung" only because that was the only colored offered in the small and my husbands only came in black because we got a medium and were "US divers". After some research they are both the same company/brand.

No I just assumed the more "popular" colors were more expensive. I bought the green because it was the least $ at the time. It was perfect.

From everything I can tell from comments & the product description, its just that you are 'paying' for the big one and getting the little one 'free.' Since it specifies that its a Buy One, Get One Free SET, and not Buy One Set, Get One Set Free, it seems to be a marketing ploy to make it look like a particularly good deal.[I have not bought these however, so I can't confirm this from personal experience.]

The set is mix, it comes one red,orange,green and purple. But still they're very nice!

I suppose you are correct - supply and demand. I wanted purple, but for $5 less, settled for red. Other than color, same product and it's a good fit. Works for me.

I don't know why the prices are different. They are the same type/color and sold by the same company. I purchased the cheapest one and it works great!

Green sells less volume, so the loss is balanced by higher prices for the more popular, better-selling black color. This allows those wanting green opportunity to buy at a better price, picking up sales for he green color.

They don't, in all cases. The grey 25-lb, for instance, is $19.99 with free Amazon Prime shipping, while the black 25 was $26.92 (plus $11.33 shipping). The grey 50 was about $45 while the black 50 was $79. I don't know why there even are two colors, but I suspect the pricing is more a function of the fact that the sellers are different. The gray (or at least the 25 and 50) come from Amazon, with free Prime shipping, while the black ones (again the 25 and 50) are from another seller. In some cases the black ones are from Amazon but not the grey ones and the black are cheaper -- see, e.g., the 5 pounders. They don't, in all cases.

if it is the same product line, then there is no difference except for the color. I did notice that there is quite a difference depending on the color you choose. For example, if you choose Teal or Black, the cost is higher than that of Purple.

Yeah, they are from different kinds from different sets. you can actually contact them, and let them know which sets you like better, and they will give you more of that stuff.

I don't think there is a green set. Looks like the lighting is just different for the photos.

I do not understand what you are asking. If you want to compare this set to others - - you would need to specify which other sets you want to compare and not just their prices.

The green are larger, and I think less versatile. The red ones are extremely easy to use and very versatile -- I've even used them in a pinch, when I don't have a paper clip, or they're great to clip pieces of fabric together when piecing a quilt.

I think if you buy from a third party seller, you are likely to get the habitat instead of the bridge battle set. However, if you purchase from Amazon, you will almost certainly get the bridge battle set (Amazon sells both sets, and this one is several dollars more--hence my assumption that they are, in fact, referring to the more expensive bridge battle set). Furthermore, if you specify Amazon as the seller, and you still receive the wrong set, it is Amazon's fault and they will make it right. I have never received inaccurate products or marked up prices on purchases made directly from Amazon--only from third-party sellers.

I don't know the difference. However I ordred a similar set that was in stock and amazon canceled the order because it is not really available. Good luck

KJ is correct, some colors are definitely more popular than others and supply becomes an issue. Logically, it would make sense that all colors are the same price. If you have any further questions, please let us know...Ice Cold Mist.com

I have purchased both brown and green and they are identical except for the color. I can only imagine the price is different because the large brown ones are harder to find than the green ones.
