I too bought from Barre last year, good products, fair shipping price. If I remember, their website was bit disorganized, meaning I was able to find some 'discount/imperfect' nets under pages if I jumped around under different categories.
I also got one or two off eBay. But yes - all new, by gone are the days of real surplus it seems.
The big price difference between offerings is usually the backing or 'netting'. The cheap stuff is simply a single fabric that is die cut, it is fine for most applications - but get the real net stuff if you need it to support itself, esp if hung vertical as a wall.
Note the color nets (red, purple, etc) look really neat in daylight....but very quickly loose their appeal in haunt lighting. Even with various techniques, the color never popped out.
