    Looks correct according to the price tracker.

    Perhaps they're hoping to do a massive supermarket style price drop.

    On a lot of sites like Amazon and Ebay it's far easier for the seller to put the price up ridiculously high rather than say they are out of stock and lose rankings/listings/priority status. The fact that it's not on their site would fit in with this assumption.

    They are probably just waiting for stock and when they have it will put the price back to normal. Maybe ring them and check?
