I wasn't saying that matching the price of the hypothetical random indie book is a good strategy, just that the presence of cheaper random indie books should exert some downward pressure on random non-indie books. Which, at least to me, doesn't really seem to be happening, at least in the agency era.

EDIT: then again, there's less desirable big5 books that are more reasonable. I doubt many people would, say, pay $15 for those, and they're generally not trying to sell them for that price.
