These all go for $100 - $400 CDN(depending on who's selling them) Only in the US have I seen thin and/or coloured netting. I find that kind of strange. I guess it depends on who/when/where they were made. I would assume that those were made for the tourist trade, but maybe they were just mass produced ones(stronger rope, less expensive to manufacture)
