A Ladder Apparently To Rich For My Walmart Blood

I don't understand why

I hope someone with ladder knowledge can help me with this one. I recently saw an ad on craigslist as shown in tile one. I need a ladder like that. Since it boasted it was a sacrifice at $80 because it's normally $300, I did some quick googling. I found that it's around $250 at Lowe's, but I also found what looks to be a very similar ladder for $80 at Walmart. Benefit of the doubt, I figured, since I know nothing of ladders, I would ask what the difference is. Looking at the three pictures, I would be hard pressed to find the differences in the pictures. So I asked the guy/gal about it. They said I wouldn't be able to find this ladder at Walmart. I shared the link, not out of spite, but just to really find out what the difference is. Then they stated "Maybe your better go to Wal-Mart". I think [s]he meant to say "Maybe get your butt to Wal-Mart". I didn't think of that before. Maybe it was a good deal I found. Or, it was an insult as to say that my current class level is more Walmart than Lowe's.

Anyhow, I'm still not giving up total hope on this ladder debacle - or laddebacle. I really want to know what the difference could be. They are both rated 250 lbs, which is good because my ice cream has almost got me to that point. But I digress... What is the $170 difference other than a brand name?
