It absolutely does. Some expensive things aren't all that high quality. It's just expensive for the sake of being expensive.

Remember the "I'm Rich" app on the iPhone years ago? It was just a picture of a spinning diamond. I think it was like $1000 per download? The dude who made it had a bunch of sales before Apple took it down.

People will definitely buy stuff JUST because it's expensive.

In principle you are always selling access to your work. Raising prices reduces access and thus increases exclusivity.

It is question of marketing.
