They determine from there if they will purchase or not, but I don't think they're cognizant that it might have been $9.99 pre-agency and now costs $12.99 (or whatever).
Some people may chalk it up to inflation. Prices tend to increase. They've seen the hardcover and paperback prices rise also.

Adjusted for CPI a $9.99 title in 2010 would be $10.92 in today's dollar.
