Judge Judy seemed to jump to a decision pretty darn fast there...
But ya, 'pictures' of an item with a description of the actual item ARE a scam. If the auction includes a description of pictures of the item, then it is for pictures of the item. If an auction includes a description of the actual item, then I don't care what the auction says elsewhere, it's intent is to defraud the customer.
Although, I really think things like 'xbox' (cardboard box with X written on it) should be allowed. Why? Because it's hilarious for the rest of us. As long as it is described properly, it should be allowed.. There's no 'dumbass protection' on the Internet.

I assume in Judge Judy's case the prize fund is $5000 and she didn't want the scammer to get any of it.

I highly doubt that, I saw the 60 minutes interview with Judge Judy and they said the show pays the judgement (rather than the defendant). Both parties essentially agree to drop the case in civil court and submit to binding arbitration on the show.
I Tivo JJ every day, it's my guilty pleasure. I don't really think the courts should be the moral police but it sure makes for entertaining television watching her rip people apart!

I was disagreeing about the part where they split the remaining money left after the judgment. Unless you can link to proof of that I have a hard time believing it.

The award for each judgment is paid by the producers of the show from a fund reserved for each case. The remainder of the fund is split between the parties for a particular case.
