If you have a car for sale in your front yard and 20 people come to look
it over in a month but nobody offers to buy it at your price you will
eventually lower it to get rid of it (thinking the item is wanted but
the price is just too high).
Again speaking as a frequent seller, this really isn't the same
thing. Twenty people stopping by to see it is very different from the
same twenty people driving by severa times per day to see if it has sold
yet. One registers interest, the other does not. I personally drop my
prices significantly on a re-list (as well as revisit my auction text
and title wording) if there were no watchers.

Same here. On more than one occasion, if the item
doesn't sell the
seller will relist it at a lower price.
...but that's much less likely to happen if they know there's a lot of
interest in the item, which is exactly what you're showing him/her
with a large number of watchers.
