I don't doubt your veracity (though I'd love to know where you shop), but I think it's instructive to inform others that this isn't always the case. In my experience, the bibs are always slightly more expensive, unless something's on sale. Examples (list prices):

Performance Ultra II Shorts at $79.99; Performance Ultra II Bibs at $89.99.
Pearl Izumi P.R.O. In-R-Cool Shorts at $144.99; Pearl Izumi P.R.O. In-R-Cool Bibs at $164.99.
Pearl Izumi Attack Shorts at $74.99; Pearl Izumi Attack Bibs at $94.99.
Giordana Silverline Shorts at $99.95; Giordana Silverline Bibs at $124.95 (per realcyclist.com)
Castelli Endurance Shorts at $159.95; Castelli Endurance Bibs at $179.95 (per realcyclist.com)

Not trying to be argumentative, just sayin'.
