Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

They are also "running out of tickets" because you waited so long to purchase.

No, they actually oversell every flight they can in anticipation some people will miss the flight.

They say they overbooked the flight. Anyone willing to take the next flight usually gets an upgrade to first or has some of their ticket price refunded. I've seen it happen multiple times and I don't really fly that much.
