I think the main problem with a lot of indie writers is they rush into it, sometimes even putting up a first draft. I tend to do that myself on my blog, just to test reaction, so I can understand why they would do that. But maybe if we all waited a year to publish, like the big boys do, the average quality would improve to a level that would justify a higher asking price?
