Much more likely fare "bucket" availability changes. I would make note of the fare CODE before calling and verify that they are finding the exact same code, and also that the fare you have looked up includes all taxes and fees. However, inasmuch as the difference is exactly $75 this is probably a difference in the fare code used rather than taxes.

No, its absolute BS--the fare isnt going anywhere, I've called back twice now and theyre being completely immutable. I agree that its a fare code thing, but why would they be pulling up a higher fare code? Ugh. All I want them to do is buy a general publically available ticket for me at the price that any non-FTer can get it for. They seem to be unable to do that.
