Mayhem:
quid pro quo goes a long way. 

Where possible, I try to help out others, as many have helped out me.  Of course, that being said, this is just a hobby for me...

My thought on this

I do not mind paying for a drawing set if the quality and accuracy of that said set is of the same quality as my money that I paid for them with

good money should give you a good set of drawing free from errors not as in some of LBSC drawing that still contain errors that have not been corrected

That where the rip off is uncorrected drawings , rant mode off

S. Heslop:
I think it depends on what the plans are for and maybe who's making them.

Plans for hobbyists by hobbyists shouldn't be riddiculously expensive. Just enough to cover costs of distribution. If the guy is desperate to make big bucks out of engineering then maybe it'd be worth his while to get a 'real' job.

But thats just the ideal. By the end of the day it's really up to the seller to decide how much he's going to charge, and it's up to the buyer if they're willing to pay as much.

I'd be interested to know how many copies the guy's managing to sell at £50 though.
PeterE:
Another thing to add to the equation is that if a drawing is too cheap, someone else may think that there is a business opportunity simply by collecting cheap stuff from others and then re-sell as a collection of his own.

Which means that there is a fine balance between being too cheap, just right, and too expensive.

My 2 cents
