The amount you type in at checkin doesn't matter. I've only had one GA ever even mention it. Once you're at the gate everything is up for negotiation.
Which is how it should be, the amount of money it would take for me to move is highly variable and can easily change even just from when I check in to when I get to the gate. Not to mention being dependent on what the other flight options are, which you won't know until you're actually about to be VDB'd.
