I've heard of that scam before. A company advertises a popular item for their cost or a little below. When people order them, they try to sell them overpriced accessories to actually recoup their losses and make a profit. If the person refuses, suddenly the item is "out of stock."

Reminds me of the grocery stores that advertise items at very low prices to get you in, and then are conveniently either out of stock or, "Sorry, that's a typo, and we're not responsible."
