Thumbs down Balls people have to quote a $$ than raise it

I 've had 2 people in the past 5 weeks quote me a price for a boat and than raise the price $15 - 20k. Is it me or do these folks have some set of nuts ??? I probably will not mention names because I know they read these boards but what are peoples thoughts about this, and trust me I have NO emotional attachment to any boat when shopping for a one.

people get stupid, you show interest so they think "ah, now I got him, let's see what I can get"....

IF they can not be trusted on something as simple as a price, how can you trust them on anything about the boat?
