Shady business practices by thevaultproscooters

So recently I purchased a prodigy s4 for 170$ with a 15% off coupon code from thevaultproscooters.com/. Original price was 199.99. Then today their website goes down for maintenance and they give out a 20% off code.

This is where the shady part comes in.

Now when the site went back up, the price of the prodigy s4 was no longer 199.99, but 209.99. They purposefully raised the price in order to counteract the 20% off discount code.

Not only that, they are out of stock. I didn't exactly go back to the site right when it came back up, which could've been earlier today, but did people really not realize that you didn't get any additional discount with the 20% off versus the constant 15% off given? Or am I missing something completely?

its a common advertising practice. People see 20% off and they buy more vs 15% shady. Annoying, yes, but not illegal or shady or anything
