Well sure. Nobody's silly enough to believe the price they're
personally willing to buy at is the market driver.
My point was that though there's a metric crap-ton of factors involved in pricing things for sale, the vast majority of
buyers out there don't care about any of it. It's all about being willing to buy what they want (or not) for price X. I don't factor in the costs involved in producing the latest Whizzbang Widget when I'm deciding if I'm willing to pay the asking price for it. And likewise; I don't factor in the costs involved (or lack thereof) in producing an ebook when I'm deciding whether or not the going prices suit me.
