Here is an example page, showing this "increased" method of 
pricing, as the edition gets near the end.

(Also, Hiroshi's work is excellent. Take a peek at the Portfolio 
section).

I have also heard that when an artist is represented by multiple 
galleries around the country, that they somehow have a method 
to contact each other frequently to let the other galleries know 
that they've sold a print, so as to keep the price current and 
appropriate.

Sounds complicated, but I guess it works.
