      This comparison shopping engine url shows googlebot something dramatically different than

      My frustration is that a comp shop takes retailers content and copies and duplicates it and then uses it to capture traffic and send sales to other retailers other than the original provider of the content.

      Although this is a javascript function and not explicit bot detection does this qualify as unethical cloaking?

        That's strange, but I'm not sure it's cloaking. Looks like they are using Javascript to display the product as part of a larger display. If JavaScript is disabled, the product just shows without the larger display of other products around it.
