This *never* happens. It's a myth trotted out by people who are trying to find a downside to lower prices.

Walmart drove out many businesses and didn't jack up its prices. Big box stores (Borders, B&N, Toys "R" Us, Best Buy, etc.) drove out the competition and didn't jack up the prices. Amazon is no different.
