It'll likely depend on the quality of the writing and editing. Some authors who go self-pub are able to maintain quality, but others decide they don't need to go through the editing process that was a part of making their books popular to begin with.
I haven't seen many self-pubs doing the $7.99 price point, but have seen a few there and one or two at $9.99 as well. I have however noticed some of the traditionally $3.99 to $4.99 authors bumping up to $5.99. On the other side I've noticed some trad pub stuff that's been in the $6.99 to $7.99 range coming out at lower price points too (not talking about categories which have always been around $5).
