Yes, but as per my last comment, this is nothing to do with price. You could go with a publisher you trust perhaps but parting with your money is no guarantee that the book has been edited by someone other than the author.
I would hate to think that the difference between my own book being "Professional" and being "
Dreck" is whether or not I make you pay for it.
If I were to upload my story as a paid item, with a different name I wonder a) How much money it would make and b) whether the opinion and reviews of it vary.
I'm guessing that many people would feel a need to justify the quality of the story just to match their expenditure.
Hmmm I feel a Deluxe Edition coming on at $9.99... I will have to find a typo and fix it or something.
