The increase of prices, increased demand - Oxymoron, not?

[corsogr]

I periodically wish to regulate the demand to my services and lower new incoming orders. So I increased prices to few of my services. Turns out the demand went higher.
So here’s an oxymoron. In order to lower the new orders, in my case always, I either have to lower my prices (!) or increase my prices ridiculously high.

I know about the out of office mode and I choose not to use it.

I guess we are having different experience. For me, when I increase price. Clicks to my gig decrease and when I lower price, clicks to my gig increase.

Or maybe it’s because I’m still a new seller with only 2 reviews? I mean, I’ve only stayed on Fiverr for 2 months. But I hope to achieve and I’m sure I will.
