It's worth noting that an average price of $6 is a fantastic result for the band. I don't know what their overheads were for the digital distribution, but they were almost certainly much less than what they'd have paid a major label for a traditional CD release, where bands are reckoned to get about 10% of the profits. 10% of $12 is much less than 50% (say) of $6.
