Sounds like the contract was made when the deposit was paid and therefore they, as are you, " bound" by that contract. It would seem their behaviour may entitle you to sue for breach of contract....however that opens a can of worms and they I expect know it..
You could take delivery pay they price demanded and then demand damages...they won't pay it I expect...but you could open back and forth correspondence which you could take some contentment that they are paying someone to manage the issue.
A friend of mine gave me what I rate as good advice " be able to spot a loss and move quickly past it before it wastes more time and energy"...
It is easy to be right but not always win the game...
