It has been reported that UK BPH titles are competitively priced, unlike their US counterparts. Your prices back that up: your quoted prices of US$6-9 would find little resistance on this side of the pond where their prices typically run $11-13 and higher. A 50% premium on BPH authors can be tolerated but a 200-300% higher price is a lot harder to swallow.
Speaking in generalities has its uses but sometimes you have to be more specific to appreciate an issue.
