Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
I believe that this would be "skimming" pricing. Setting skimming prices is what a company will do when they want to start with a higher price to cover their costs and then slowly move further down after they meet the needs of more interested and higher-paying customers.
With penetration pricing, a company tries to push through a product with a low price to penetrate to the core group of buyers.
Bidding pricing would be not setting a price, but rather letting the price be bid up - so while it might be high level, it wouldn't be setting a price necessarily - and certainly wouldn't be setting a high price, but rather waiting for one.
And flexible pricing is when pricing can shift and adapt to match supply and demand.
