Exactly. A couple of folks may get it because they flew in under the radar, but the jig is up. I'm surprised to see all the pissed off posts of "why won't they stand by their price" and false advertising claims. Somebody screwed the pooch. One or two people got lucky. They are in process of fixing their mistake. Get over it.
As the OP (Fred i think?) said, this was no mistake. They were doing it to blow out older inventory (3 piece housing). They had been for sale for a while.

10:52:44 AM : Andy: Hi, In regards to the ARB Air locker issue from yesterday. I see that they're back on your site and it says they're available to purchase. I ordered one but was told they were out of stock.
10:53:07 AM : Andy: I also see that other items are obviously priced incorrectly. What's the deal? What happened?
10:53:16 AM : Andy: Are they available for 377.12 now?
10:54:09 AM : Aden: I'm sorry, we are facing some technical issue with ARB products.
10:54:38 AM : Aden: Our technical experts are under the concern to fix this issue.
10:54:49 AM : Andy: I understand that. There's many people still thinking that they're available and you're just getting rid of old stock.
10:55:06 AM : Andy: I understand that's not the case. Do you know what the correct price for that item is?
10:55:11 AM : Andy: RD93
10:55:59 AM : Aden: The correct price is $1,042.16. Our technical experts will have the issue repaired soon.

Because they haven't figured out where they screwed up yet? I think it's safe to say with the air fittings at 400 dollars it was a mistake. It was up for a while because nobody caught it. People getting emails and calls that they're out of stock is enough to tell me that they screwed up.

All I can find on JC's site is the D30 reverse rotation locker for $ 377.12. I wonder if they aren't just selling what they have in stock then will reprice when new stock shows up.

I tried to order one of these the other day and the order got cancelled because they were out of stock.

I called ARB and spoke with a nice guy, he said they were aware of the price at JC Whitney and said it was an error (DUH). But did give a good word of advice about some cheapo ARB knock of lockers floating around from china. There is a reason these air lockers are so much money. They are built to last longer than your jeep.
