It is an advertising gimmick employed by retailers.
Obviously they are trying to fool us into thinking the product are cheaper.
It seems to work too. At $9.99, it seems cheaper than $10.00!
To the retailers, this 1 cent loss is little compared to the sales it can attract.

What do you mean increasing? That's been the norm for 100 years. Have you just noticed?
