He will sell less if people don't like his lecture in the first place. They might even use the lecture notes of a different professor.
And the recordings etc. of his lecture will probably not be much better than the lecture either.
It is in the best interest of the professor to make a good lecture and sell the lecture notes for a low price. Then many people will come to the lectures, and many people will buy the notes.
I myself have used the lecture notes of a different professor a couple of times because I liked them better. Quite often professors refer to the lecture notes of others because they're done well. So he might even be able to sell some to the students of other classes or universities, if it's worth the money.
Oh, and some professors turn their lecture notes into books and sell them... the professors here that do this often hand out the drafts in their lectures and get feedback and corrections from the students. Maybe they should pay the students for proofreading his book? What bullshit is this fighting for $2.50 for a lecture? Thats a single slice of pizza. If it's not worth the money, don't but the recordings.
