It means the same as with any other thing someone's selling. If the price is too high, the book doesn't sell. Yes, even when colleges and professors collude with the publisher.
But the real point is that the publisher would still make a profit at the grey market price. So if a reseller is undercutting the publisher on US sales, then the free market is doing its job!
