My buddy was RIPPED OFF legally!

A buddy of mine bought several hand signed Michael Jordan prints on eBay that were later appraised as fakes. The description does not specifically state that the prints were autographed by MJ, only that they are "hand signed." Is it illegal for him to mislead his customers? It seems to me that legally he's off the hook on a technicality, as he never stated that an official autograph would be included, only that it was hand signed. By the way, the COAs look like something your average joe could have made for 20 cents at your local print shop. The certificate seals are blank.



Note: total $s spent = ~$180

Dood. That thing needs to be delisted if it's not real.

The question is, will the bidder pay? :beer: Who knows? that's an awefully lot of $s ... the final value fees are going to hurt, big time. Hopefully the buyer will pay-up...

*ahem*

Anyway time for bed, thanks for responding everyone, good night!

Look at the bid history. The bids look fake , meaning they are not going to pay up.
