The fact that Bose did not address the issue and offer some sort of compensation to its customers says a lot about the company. This might've been a marketing gimmick right before the holidays. I personally always fight for the little guy. I don't feel bad for the big companies.
Getting 2-3 of these to give as gifts is cool. Buying 5 to try to flip is the very definition of rent-seeking. They contribute nothing to society.
On the positive side, the refurb QC Ultra deal ($210) is still very good for what is likely a "legit" price. IMO it's my favorite ANC headphone set currently
but.. my friend UPS deliver finally knocked door and gave it to me just now!! it feels like a special gift I got.

I had initially guessed the stock was pretty small but if it's true that flippers got word and emptied out a significant stock, the seller might've taken a significant loss. Especially if people are ordering 10-20 at a time. From the history of Slickdeals, when price mistakes get pulled back its either if someone contacts the seller (which is quite possible with flippers eager to get their stuff shipped) or if people order a big quantity of products.
Doesn't excuse the seller for not honoring the pricing at the time and it definitely will cost them their image. But it just isn't surprising in today's day and age. Would it have slipped under the radar until the mistake was corrected in the morning if the deal stayed low-profile? Maybe. But even then its a risk.
I ordered one too and within 10 minutes of the deal showing up. To this point it is still pending. So I am be screwed too but I knew going in the risk.
Again, I'm jealous of those whose transactions have simply been cancelled as they'll receive a quick refund while I have to wait for Bose to get around to it.
Yeah that really sucks. I'm in the same boat. Hopefully you can get your money back soon or maybe they'll ship it as soon as the item comes back in stock.

Now to wait 3-5 business days for my credit, which adds to the frustration!
I sent a nice email via Contact Seller requesting to wait until stock is replenished so I can upgrade my old Bose QC15's (yeah they are rather old), asking them to honor the price.
- There is no need to get ugly about this - you get more flies with honey than vinegar :-)
Further, resellers will list these on eBay for ~100, further degrading the value and causing Bose to lose some sales.
