Sounds to me like a classic breach of contract, in the absence of a relevant disclaimer on their web site. Their offering it for sale is "an invitation to treat", your tendering your payment is an "offer to buy" at the advertised price, their acceptance of your payment is "an acceptance of your offer". Offer + acceptance + valid consideration = binding contract, which they would be in breach of by attempting to withdraw. Of course if they have a prominent disclaimer about pricing on their site, that may be enough to bale them out.
