You answered my question about making a job change recently. After initially accepting the offer, I recanted and turned it down. Later that day the HR Manager left me a voicemail stating management really liked me and wanted to sweeten the offer. I called this morning. Instead of making an offer, she asked me what it would take to get me to come. I gave her a number that was 6% more than what Iwas offered, but still well within the stated salary range. She later sent an email saying she gave the proposal to management and that they were going to pursue other candidates. They didn't even make a counter offer, and said they really didn't think I wanted the job. I thought it was bizarre. (link)

Probably the act of turning it down after accepting had a good deal to do with management's decision. I would probably question an employee's interest after a move like that.
The HR manager might have really liked you, but her management, who probably didn't meet you, just saw you flip flopping and asking for more money and didn't think it worth their time.

Original feedback:
Well, if that was the case, why did they bother asking what it would take to get me to come on board? They said they really liked me and wanted me. Your response to my question makes as much sense as what the company did.
