Correct pricing for fiction eBook series

[Cyberseraph]

Hello everyone,

this week I have released my first fiction series on Amazon. They are 3 books and my pricing strategy is to sell the first book for 99 cents and the other two for 2.99. Basically this is my product funnel, in the first 99 cent book is a link to the other (more expensive) books.

Question for experienced self-publisher: Would it make sense to price all 3 books at 99 cents for the first few days or even a week?

The idea is to let all 3 books climb up the rank equally and to price the 2nd and 3rd book at 2.99 later on after a few sales. What is your experience when it comes to pricing?
