I read and buy a lot of books, and I don't have any that I bought for this magic number of $2.99. There are tons of deals and promotions out there for free or $0.99, by both established-but-new-to-me and brand new authors, that's where I concentrate my efforts and research time. I'm fine paying more for an author I've read and liked, the trick is to get me to read you in the first place, and for that you are competing with the free and $0.99 promotions. You are also competing with all the authors I've read and liked in the past, since they get most of my reading time. Conversely, it is a turn-off for me if all your books are priced at $0.99, that tells me that you don't value your work.
Other readers have different criteria and priorities and I may not be your target audience, so YMMV.
