My suggestion to them is simply that the next time they're caught in a similar no-win situation, they err on the side of supporting the customer, even if it means losing $50, and correct their list price after the sale so they don't get burned twice rather than assume the customer probably wouldn't have spent that much at their shop in the future. At the very least, they should offer to match the price of another vendor, even if it's at their loss.
Hopefully, cancelling your order does send a message to them to make sure their website prices are kept up-to-date. The other thing they might want to think about doing is to offer the customer a voucher for a discount on some future purchase.
