While the $14.95 apparenttly lookes expensive to quite a few people for an 'independent' game, the main reason for that pricepoint seems to be the overhead of the publishing/selling cost.
Looks like CafePress (the store) takes a $8.99 cut for making each CD (with jewelcase, cover, and insert like this one is handled)
They apparently also offer a 'basic' CD option without the jewelcase & printed cover for $4.99, so perhaps it might be beneficial to also offer that version, so people get the choice between the more 'professionally' packaged version, or they can safe a couple of bucks if a printed cover isn't important to them?
Pricepoint at $10.99 would result in the same profit for the creator, while lowering the price enough to possibly appeal to a wider public.
