Don't know if this is the difference in the pricing you noticed or not.....

But I looked at AP cages, 72x24x24 the base price is 440.00 + freight of 231.00 for a total of 671.00

The Boamaster price for a 72x24x24 is now 650.00 base price BUT states "price includes shipping"

So maybe the 200 difference was from "plus shipping" to "includes shipping" ???

Just a thought.

P.S. I did email Boamaster and ask if there was a discounted price if I picked up an enclosure and didn't need it shipped.
