Folks, there was no court holding in this case. Instead, there was an administrative complaint issued by the FTC, and CompUSA settled it per an agreement with the FTC. I would assume that this settlement contains a "non-admissions clause" so that CompUSA can deny that it was found to have engaged in wrong-doing.
The real value here is that the FTC recognizes that consumers are being screwed, and that it is willing to take steps to address the issue.
I have filed complaints with the FTC against Soyo and Zipzoomfly, who sold me Soyo motherboards last November. At the time it was pretty clear that Soyo rebates were problematic and Zipzoomfly was prominently advertizing FAR motherboards from Soyo. I had relied on Zipzoomfly's word that these rebates were good, bolsterd by their good resellerratings score. This makes their situation much like that exploited by CompUSA.
