1Opinion of the Court
MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs appeal the district court’s1 denial of their motion for a new trial in this action, claiming that Rent-A-Center’s rent-to-own contracts constitute consumer credit sales and violate Minnesota consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs argue that the court erroneously submitted the issue of “nominality” of consideration to the jury, that the court’s instructions on nominality were erroneous, and that the court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of the used wholesale value of rented items. We affirm.
