What am I missing here, why was it on sale with a reduced price if
they could not sell it to you?

"Invitation to treat". A seller marks a price. You make an offer (normally
at the marked price but it doesn't have to be), the seller can accept or
reject the offer, they are under no obligation to sell.

Agreed. But a bit stupid to offer it in the first place if they weren't
going to sell. I suspect that the refusal was an individual decision by
someone who just wanted to feel important.
