It's possible that a person in his position, might get more responses
than anticipated and then bump up the price thinking they have
underpriced the item. I saw this before locally on CL with a Westy.
(VC) If a seller does this, I don't agree with this behaviour. It's
based upon greed IMHO.

I have to wonder why sellers don't realize just how obvious this may
be. I mean how many people on this list have seen the price change?
They're all potential buyers and have tracked the ads history.

Neil.
