Preisschaukel
German to English

Unter einer “Preisschaukel” versteht man das systematische, willkürliche Herauf- und Heruntersetzen von Preisen zur Verschleierung von sogenannten “Mondpreisen“, die ernsthaft nicht gefordert werden.
Wäre dankbar für den entsprechenden englischen Ausdruck für Preisschaukel.

price manipulation
not as imaginative as the source term, but it might work here
Price manipulation: Any planned operation, transaction or practice ... or raising or lowering coupon rates, to maximize revenue or minimize financing costs ...

I think I'd use 'artificially inflated prices' for 'Mondpreisen'

Muret-Sanders = "Mondpreis der (Wirtsch. Jargon) artificially high price (from which the actual asking price is reduced); (Wucherpreis) exorbitant price"
