Does anybody know the average prices of University textbooks in China?

I am especially talking about more specialized books written in Chinese for master students (e.g. master of science in Information Systems or MBA and executive MBA students). In Germany the range goes from 25-60€.

Background: Can 老外 possibly publish Chinese University textbooks without losing money (I am not talking about making profit)?

Most of them are between 15 and 40 yuans. You'll find a large choice on the dangdang website (tout simplement.) Here is the 科技 section : http://www.dangdang.com/zhuanti2006/book/23.shtml
