Andy is right. The more affordable your prices, the more players will donate. It seems to me as if you're just being a money hungry asshole this time round (no offense meant).
At the moment the entire set is 90$ or more. And then to be premium for 12 months thats an extra 120$. Not nice.
The more premmy you buy the cheaper it is. If I was being money hungry I'd do your suggestion and make more money quickly making items cheap. I'm after making items valuable and addons etc, otherwise I'd make them cheap too. It's a balance between funding things as well as not spamming the server full of donor gear.
I understand where you are coming from, but I've run this server for 3 years and things have gone fine.
