Is Delta Airlines Using Bait and Switch Tactics?

Now wait for it, wait for it.
A funny thing happened to me this morning, while I was trying to book a round-trip flight from New York to Salt Lake City. After finding a low $324 fare, selecting my seats, entering my personal information, providing my credit card and hitting Submit, I got this message:
The fare quoted earlier of $324.30 has changed. The new fare for this itinerary is $383.20. To continue your purchase click Continue. Otherwise click Start Over to return to the Reservations input screen and select different dates and times. After accepting the fare change, you may need to re-select your seats.
Huh? This was like going into BestBuy, telling the salesman you want a $399 color TV, going to the cash register, handing over your credit card, and then having the cashier telling you that the new price of the TV was $499. No business in the world changes the price of a product after a customer has agreed to pay the quoted price.
