The case against Sears, Roebuck & Co. was supposed to be "huge," according to a plaintiff's lawyer. Ex-employees accused the retail giant of passing off millions of old car batteries as new, giving heft to the case filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta. Florida's attorney general launched a separate investigation. Dateline NBC aired an expose catching Sears in the act. But earlier this month, after three years of occasionally ugly litigation, the plaintiff in the Atlanta case settled for a mere $8,500.
