It is probably a combination of the two. However, IME, they make
more money if you don't price them, but leave the donation up to the
buyer. Say it is a fundraiser, and that they receive some baked goods
in exchange for their donation. People, in general, tend to give much
more than we would have priced them. There are a couple people who will
be cheapskates, but overall people are generous.
