I think people are pretty oblivious to the agency model, price fixing, etc. They know which books they want and they see the price and decide if they want it that badly and if it's a fair multiple of the cost of a Starbuck's coffee, they buy it.
Most everybody else, meaning the indies, aren't really in the game.
The public wants to be told what those few books (or authors) are who are worth paying attention to, and those are the ones they'll buy. Everyone else feeds off the table scraps.
To make it as an author, you have to make a splash and enter the mass consciousness. Once you do, the price doesn't so much matter.
