i think this entry is useful, 上げる can also mean "increase prices" so the meaning is not immediately obvious or intuitive
we also already have 安く上がる (which is in jitsuyo as well)

it's an adv+verb entry and a confusing one at that. rather than trying to inprove the entry, it's easier to improve the overall quality of the dictionary by excluding this entry from it. suggesting deletions isn't an act of vandalism, it's an important form of housekeeping. JMdict has a lot of problematic and questionable entries. I don't think the instinct to keep everything just because it once was let in should be quite so strong.

The process is to try and improve the glosses; not simply delete without any given reason. (I usually reject such edits.)
