I would expect in this instance it is more a case that "the item was bought" rather then anything to do with it being bought by you specifically.

That is... the more an item sells = the more it's in demand = the more the vendor should charge.

Rather than... oh look, this mug is back again, let's charge him more this time.

Now if you had only browsed it yesterday (without buying) and it had gone up today, that would be more worrying - but still not something that couldn't be put down to coincidence.

Personally, I have never seen it myself, but I very very rarely buy something and then go back for more the day after, so I wouldn't notice. I have heard it mentioned somewhere before though, maybe even on CP (I can't recall exactly).
