1Opinion of the CourtSullivan, J.
ABC TV & Stereo Rental of Milwaukee, Inc., a/k/a Colortyme TV Rental (Colortyme), appeals from a summary judgment in favor of Tomasa Palacios (Palacios) on her claim that Colortyme violated the Wisconsin Consumer Act 1 in an installment transaction involving á television. Colortyme contends the transaction was not a “consumer credit sale” under the act but only a rental agreement terminable at will. We conclude the transaction was a consumer credit sale within the meaning of sec. 421.301(9), Stats., and that the transaction violated the Wisconsin Consumer Act. We therefore affirm.
