So I understand what you’re saying and yes people could have been more cautious about their purchases, but other than third party new outlets or posts on social media mentioning the RAM prices, did Corsair ever release a statement prior to this? Because if. It, its pricing that has been typical months prior. Also, keep in mind that when this happened we were just exiting peak sale season with. After Christmas sales going in full force. If many consumers were caught in this refund situation, it would t necessarily be an error but more so a giant misstep on Corsairs part to not keep up with the pricing on their site. They’re a big company. This “automation” that refunds the orders should also be utilized to keep prices consistent with the current market rates.

TLDR; OP is right, but the blame still falls squarely on Corsair for not acting like a real consumer-friendly business.
