I'm the same way, Clay. I started revisions to my site months ago - did the bulk of it in one night, and haven't touched it since. I have decided to make a number of animals available, but haven't listed most of them on my site. And available babies? LOL, I'm lucky if I get them added to my site before they are 4 months old, let alone advertising in advance. Then again, I don't produce huge quantities of animals, and know my luck better than to count on anything before I see it sitting there. Advance orders and deposits on anticipated animals are a fact of life for some people.
I think that the situation was likely a supply vs demand issue, or a matter of misjudging the market (which may or may not be the same thing). I also understand your frustration/resentment at not getting the advertised pricing...but as Clay mentioned, you are none the worse for the experience. Instead of putting a deposit on a possibility, you can continue your search.
Best of luck
