I have received as much as $3 and as little as 59 cents from different product class action suits I joined. The lawyers got a couple of million dollars.
It ain't worth the cost of a stamp, bro.

Me too. I've been a part of three and the most I've gotten is $12.50 in coupons. Not to say that it doesn't teach them a lesson. Sometimes just knowing that they aren't going to get away with their scamming is enough to join. I sued Acer computers under the lemon law a few years ago as part of a string of lawsuits against them for their lemon computers. I flew to Philadelphia to be part of the suit only to have the judge dismiss us and say to sue separately in our own hometowns. He just didn't want to deal with it. Acer sent a whole team of fancy lawyers to court that day. They didn't want to lose that's for sure.
