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)
That is a bit bizarre. I would have thought they'd at least counter-offer. I'm sorry they started to look at other candidates instead. Perhaps if you're still interested, you could email them back with a slightly lower offer? Otherwise, I wish you luck finding another job.

Sincerely,
Panda
