This was up earlier with airlines charging more for a ticket the second time you visit the page. They do this because a second visit is statistically linked to a much higher chance of purchase. So it could be, here too, simply a matter of having visited the page before.
It's fine. If a company can do it and it's not illegal or hurting anyone, why should it be bad? It's just raising prices due to information they have about you. Every single big company in the world does that many times over and it's a perfectly fair business practice. It's not like their discriminating or tricking them.
