(URL) what I could tell, somebody got ticked off about the inflated msrp being crossed out and replaced by the markdown prices and is suing.

(...) Honestly, I cannot belive this case went forward and that the guy even won. Seems like the court made a pretty incredible ruling. MSRP is the SUGGESTED retail price. Individual retailers should be permitted to sell at whatever price they (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.market.theory)
