It means they are lowering their offer, and a bump is used a maximum of once every 24 hours to keep the thread alive.

These are the rules regarding bumping:

.....II) Make sure the post has content, it can't just be 'bumped' or 'updated', update your items or prices significantly, and state exactly what was updated.
.....III) Do not delete-bump. (delete-bump: Deleting a previous post then posting again in order to have a more recent post.)
.....IV) Creating new threads in an attempt to bump your sales is not allowed, whether the thread is active or not.

So to answer your question, he was updating the thread with what is called a 'bump' to move his thread back to the top, to get noticed.
You can only do this if you meet all the rules in place. (In the quote).
