I have seen first in a series sales like that (or for free) but usually that first in the series tends to be 10 or 20 years old (i.e. backlist)

It really depends on the author and publisher. LE Modesitt, for example, generally has an entire series on sale prior to the release of a new one. I picked up most of his Recluce and Imager series that way. Sometimes it's just good marketing to put backlist books on sale to generate interest for a new one.
Edit: Sites like ereaderIQ are your friend for these sales. In fact, I've occasionally found out about a new book release by an author because I got notification that an earlier book was on sale.
