Low prices can be bad for consumers in the long run. Two possible scenarios:

#1: A few big companies with lots of cash drive their competition out of business by underpricing their products. Then, when the competition is gone, they can raise the prices as much as they want.
#2: A very competitive market can prevent companies from freeing up resources to improve infrastructure and technology, leading to an overall decrease in quality in the long run.
So basically you are talking about WalMart?
