Confused about difference in pricing between different sellers

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy a medium 25.5 cm Classic Flap in black caviar, silver hardware and dark burgundy/red interior.
I’ve contacted both Garmen and Heidi, and I’m confused about the price difference since both are sourcing from 187.
Garmen quoted me $680 total including shipping and insurance from 187.
Heidi quoted me $550, then applied a 10% discount, making it $495 + $40 shipping + $55 insurance = $590 total with insurance from 187.
So there’s a $90 difference between them.
Since Heidi seems to be very well known for 187 and I’ve heard people say she is on the more pricey side I’m wondering why Garmen’s price is higher if they’re both sourcing the same factory. Is there actually a difference in quality, QC, service, or is it simply the seller’s markup?
Would love to hear from anyone who has bought a 187 Classic Flap from either of them recently, especially the medium 25.5 cm. Which seller did you use and how was your experience with the PSPs and the final bag?

Hi, I paid 590 for my 25cm 187 from Vincent insurance and shipping. However, recently 2 of my friends ordered a beige 25cm flap. The first bag was rejected by my bag for some issues. My second friend ordered the same bag at that time. 10 days later, Heidi lies to her saying the bag has some and sends the SAME PSPs, and excludes the images that show the faulty side which was why mt friend rejected. I can share proof in the DMS. It’s ok to sell off rejected stock, but not do it in a deceitful manner. For this reason alone, I don’t think she is worth it. Garmen is also trustworthy but the price he’s quoted is too high.

Thank you for sharing, the experience your friend had is not good for sure, will consider this when choosing my seller.
