Depending on your state the company may have commited a crime. If an ad runs for an item they don't have for the purpose of "bait and switch" the district attorney should be contacted. Most smart stores would give you a rain check if it was an honest mistake. IF it is a chain store that repeats this practice report it to the state's Attorney General.

In Michigan they must substitute or give you a raincheck to buy it at a future date. Did you read the fine print. Did it say how many were available for sale? You might try the customer service dept of the store's website. Send them a note.

Not much. Did you ask for a raincheck?
Ads are designed to get you in the store, not necessarily to sell you what is the ad.
The ads go to print weeks before they are to be sent out so there is always a chance that the item would not be in.
Best Buy used to be really bad at this. If it was in their Sunday ad, you could pretty much guarantee they didn't have it.

There is nothing you can do unless you can prove that it was done on purpose to lead you into the store. Ask for a rain check.

You ask for a rain check. When they do get them in you are able to buy it at the sale price.

You fell for that.
There is absolutely nothing that you can do.
