So I’m new to buying parts online and building in general but I’d like to know why JoeBob can sell a Hiperfire 24E for $129 while everyone else sells them for $170-$215.
Am I getting the same trigger or is it like a few years old model or something like that?

Without looking it up for you I figure Joe Bobs is the older version which is perfectly fine and not really any different. Hiperfire just recently (past couple months) redone their triggers and have been unloading their older ones at cheap rates. JoeBobs is one of the places along with AIM Surplus, Optics Planet and a few others that sold their triggers for really great prices. I picked up a EDT2 for about $55 that I loved but didn't get the chance to buy more before they were all gone.
The only difference on the old EDT2 for $55 on sale and the new "Big Gunner" or some stupid name like that for $90+ is the new trigger has a saw tooth design on the back of the trigger itself. I watched a video of Hiperfire describing the differences and this is the only change I could see done to the EDT line and they said the saw tooth design was put there because it looked cool and the customers would love it. I guess I am the exception, I am not into that type of thing and while it isn't a bad trigger at $90 it's almost not worth it. At $55-60 it was an amazing trigger.
Now on their more expensive models the 24 whatevers I believe there was an actual upgrade on the newer models but I don't think it was anything significant. Other then the saw tooth design on the back of the trigger I believe they made a cutout in the trigger itself like the EDT line already had so blown primers would not get stuck in/under the trigger. I could be wrong on that, going off memory from a couple months ago but it isn't anything I'd worry about if it was that much difference in price.
