I just had a similar experience in my area with a beautiful New Royal treadle machine that was in gorgeous cabinet. They ran the ad, DH and I both liked it so I wrote to them (the only way to contact them). Heard nothing back. A few days later the ad was still there, so wrote again. NOthing.
Then, they took the ad out and replaced it with same as the ad before. So, I wrote to them again... reread that ad many, many times in case I was missing something. No reply from them. Then, two days later the ad was gone.
What is that all about? Rats, and I really did want to buy that machine. Maybe they were just testing the market. Not sure I appreciate that.
