How to REALLY get Jerry’s Nuggets for one dollar a deck.

Along these years into cardistry I have discovered that most magicians and card guys have a little flaw in their brains that make them fall for any kind of HOAX specially if it’s seasoned with some “hype” powder.

If you are one of those forum addicts that spend more time trash-talking or tweeting about random stuff then you have probably heard about the “One Dollar Jerry’s Nugget’s” Dan and Dave Buck have put up in their store.

I got emails and private messages of people asking if I knew anything about it and all I did was to laugh at them, out loud.

Guys, the only place you will ever be able to get close to a deal like that is at eBay, but you have to be clever, i got myself a sealed deck for no more than 50 bucks a while ago and now I’m going to show you how…

If you are an average eBay user and lets say you want to buy a deck of Jerry’s Nuggets you would go to eBay and search for Jerry’s Nugget Cards or even Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards.

If you were a more experienced user you would just type in Jerry’s Nugget or rather Jerry Nugget giving you more chances to find your desired auction.

But here is what professional eBay users do to find the real deals: Look for typos.

The next time that you go to eBay try the following:

Jerrys Nugget
Jerrys Nuggets
Jerrys Nugets
Jerrys Nuget
Jerry Nuget

Most of the times you won’t find any listed item with those keywords but trust me when I say it worked for me. All you need is time, patience and some hope for stupid people to sign up at eBay to sell their playing cards.

It will help if you check the “Worldwide” option, this way your chances to stumble upon these typos will increase dramatically, and remember that this works for any kind of product so be creative and never give up.

If you are not the kind of guy that likes to take risks then you might be interested in Lee Asher’s next big thing. He is going to sell authentic Jerry’s Nugget decks in his online store. Of course they won’t be $1 but it surely be the safest way on Earth to get the right ones. Stay tuned for more info from Asher coming soon to TheCuso’s.
