I don't buy on price alone, but I've got a huge backlog of ebooks, and I went from mostly buying used MMPBs to buying ebooks, so it matters a lot. I just looked at an ebook mystery series, and saw that the first book has a teaser $2.99 price, but the rest of the books in the series are $10 or more. While the series sounded mildly interesting to me, the overall price of the series was enough to decide not to take a chance on book 1. I've done enough book and ebook hoarding, that I may never finish reading everything I've purchased over the years, so yes, I think it makes sense for me to choose not to buy something, especially for an author unknown to me, based on price alone.
