I haven't followed the specific model in discussion so I don't know the
specific history.

If they are honoring the original price good for them.

If costs go up over time, well, inflation, new taxes, etc. happen.  However, I
hold that "oops, we made a mistake and forgot to carry the two" (or the
equivalant) is not professional and should not be tolerated by customers.

Fair enough.

AMEN!  And, it is a pity more can't be done to punish, severely, the
fraudsters.
