is that product an example of predatory pricing or just a great bargain from the consumer s viewpoint it s hard to tell 
if it s predatory pricing the low prices will last only enough for the manufacturer to drive its rivals out of business at that point it must raise prices to make up for the losses it incurred by cutting its prices so low and it can raise prices with impunity now that the competition has been eliminated this disadvantages both consumers and workers predatory pricing violates antitrust laws and if proved in court may have severe legal consequences for the company engaging in this strategy
