You could use the developer's contact information / support site to see if they are in the middle of a release - the developer knows when the product is released for sale and/or a price change which can cause this error temporarily.

Lastly, you can contact Apple Store support to have them investigate whether it's a problem on their end with the app in question or whether it's a problem with your AppleID / store account. If so, they can tell you if it's on Apple's end to fix or if you have to fix it.
