That made a lot more sense (also, when regarding the prices at other stores at the time).
The store couldn't have refused to sell me that machine at €89, as there were many other lettering machines listed, starting at €29, going up to €169 or so, so €89 would be seen by a court as a "very reasonable price".

That's certainly not true in the UK.

The price of goods, services or digital content is a key part of a contract (a legally binding agreement) between you and a trader. When a trader displays goods, services or digital content (in a store, online or in a brochure for example) they are inviting you to make an offer to buy, known as an 'invitation to treat'. This offer may include a price. If there is a dispute over a price and a contract has not yet been formed - perhaps a trader will not consider a price reduction or they make a mistake and the price on display is too low - they are legally entitled to decline your offer to buy. What this means is that you cannot insist a trader sells the goods, service or digital content at the advertised price.

Are you really sure it's true in the Netherlands?
