How do you determine value?
One of the open market's indicators of a rare and valuable commodity is when criminals find the original worthy of counterfeit.
Original Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards have joined the ranks of gold bricks, Omega watches and Louis Vuitton leather goods.
If your goal is to score a genuine pack of Jerry's Nuggets, you should arm yourself with intelligent information before shelling out your hard earned cash on a questionable ebay auction.
Ask around, not all knockoffs are inexpensive. Don't let the fee fool you. Excessively high prices certainly add a sense of legitimacy.
Below is a quote from an unlucky bidder who fell prey to Jerry's Nugget forgery. Take heed in his statement and know the Jerry's Nugget deck counterfeiting problem is much bigger than you can imagine.
" ...this fraudulent seller has been auctioning 4 decks every 3 days for months now... that equals a lot of ripped off bidders."
Ask yourself how these ruthless counterfeiters get away with selling their garbage out in the open like this. You will unfortunately come to the conclusion that law enforcement agencies have more important issues to deal with.
This translates to BUYER BEWARE!

EBay Isn't Liable for Goods That Are Fake, Judge Rules

A San Diego judge dismissed a $100 million class-action lawsuit against EBay Inc., saying the online auction company was not liable for the sale of phony sports memorabilia on its site.
Judge Linda Quinn said last week that eBay did not vouch for the authenticity of supposedly autographed baseballs, pictures and other items available on the site but simply allowed vendors to describe the merchandise themselves, the Associated Press reported.
EBay has long argued that while it discourages fraud and reports bad deals to the authorities, it cannot be held liable for others' dishonesty. The company contends that it is more like a flea market that provides stalls to vendors than an auction house.
