Japanese translation:お買い得価格
Explanation:
これは逆に「安い」と言うことではありませんか？広告で何度か見たような気がします。
場面によっては激安、破壊価格。
地方によっては
安いで！安いで！
なんちゃって。

競争的な値段・価格


Explanation:
Here, 'sharp price' effectively means a competitive price, imho.

agree  Krzysztof Łesyk: While the other answers are good, I think this one conveys the nuance of "sharp" most pointedly (excuse the pun). EDIT: I don't want to argue with a nat. speaker, but I see 競争価格 daily in the emails I translate (granted, without 的). Google: 22,000 hits

  -> LOL! Thanks, Krzysztof.
neutral  Hana Japan: Although "sharp price"effectively means a competitive price,we Japanese won't say "競争的な値段or 価格". Need to find a word such as "特価"or as Yuki says above. Well,but your message helps. 注；yes,word競争価格exists but it is slightly different.経済分野で使用されます。

  -> Thanks for you comments, Hana-san. Yes, I wondered that myself!
neutral  MT_S: in my view. 特価 is more close matching in Japanese (if Hana put one own I will place agree).

Sharp Price Cut


Explanation:
卸値価格　（または卸売り）
Discount Price:　価格の数量を下げるイメージ
Sharp Price:　価格の塊を(原価を残しつつぎりぎりまで)カットするイメージ

余談ですが安さを強調する場合、こちら近辺ではCheapが最強です。
（もしくは広告担当者のボキャ貧が原因だと思われます）

neutral  KathyT: No, a sharp price cut has a bit of a different nuance, and 'sharp price' does not equal wholesale price, either.
1 hr
  -> I knew it. iyaku is not always equal to source language. and we do not say "競争的な値段" in Japanese either. 卸売り価格で"競争的な値段"ができるが、その逆はちょっと難しい＝現実的でない（値段がどんどん下がってつぶれてしまう）
