Yesterday I purchased a dead air ghost 45M FDE from Element Armament online for $600. They emailed back letting me know that they are out of FDE Ghost 45s so they are refunding me $600 + shipping.
I emailed back that I would prefer they swap my order out to a black DA Ghost 45M instead of refunding me.
This morning I got an email back stating that due to high demand they were out of stock, but he might be able to find one for me for $850. I checked their webpage again and found that they changed their pricing to sell them for $850.
This is pretty rotten business deal - they sell me a can on their webpage for $600, then cancel the order and try to sell me the same can for $850.

Yeah, we understand our site allowed you to purchase an out of stock item and we've since resolved that issue. We do not have in stock either the Black or the FDE versions of the Ghost 45M. A comparable silencer that we do have in stock is the Rugged Obsidian 45 FDE. Stock of Dead Air products across the industry are low due to them switching to a new, bigger manufacturing facility.
I may have a lead on a Dead Air Ghost 45M in FDE, but the cost of that one would be closer to the $850 price range but it also comes with the .578x28 piston. I will keep you posted on that.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your correspondence with us.

From me to them:
If the Dead Air Ghost FDE is unavailable, then can I just change my order and get a black one instead, rather than refunding the money?
Thanks,
Nathan
I can have my FFL send over form 4 info tomorrow if that works.
Thanks,
Nathan

Nathan,
We do not have the Ghost 45M FDE in stock and it has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Therefore, we are refunding the total of your order ($610.36). Your bank will probably show this as a pending charge on your account for a couple days, but it should fall off by the end of the week, depending on your banking institution's policies.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we're unsure how our site allowed you to order it. We are looking into it and hope to have this issue resolved.
We have a similar item for sale, the Rugged Obsidian 45 that comes with both a 45 cal (.578x28) and a 9mm (1/2x28) piston and it is also FDE. I have attached the link below.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let us know. We appreciate your support.
