TamaSLP G-Walnut Snare

This G-Walnut is a fantastic drum with unique darker tonal features from the Walnut and thicker 10ply shell...But WHY are the Tama SLP G-Walnut drums listed here on Amazon- priced at for $200 more than any other sites? That's just nuts, who in the world would pay that much more for a drum that Tama purposely placed at a very affordable price range to start with.
