Robert, Since you are looking at Houzz I will assume that when you say "you see a wide selection of flagpoles on your site" that you are talking about the Houzz site. I can take a look at a few and see if I recognize them and then I can tell you perhaps why one is worth more than another. But we are just a seller on Houzz so I cannot speak for other sellers and how they come to determine their pricing or where they might get their products from. Some telescoping poles are from overseas and some are made here so that will affect pricing. Do all the ones you see have different manufacturers?

Cheers,

Jennifer
