Other than Mr. Asher here, are there any solid places to get a genuine Jerry's? I know they pop up on eBay but's it's hard to be sure. Are there any sellers or traders out there that are verified legit?

It would be cool to own one of these, but I'd want to be sure it was 100% certain to be real.

Well, Lee is a famous magician, he probably has his ways ;) Anyone know how much these will cost? Is there some price scheme of sorts for the JNs? All I know is that they're gonna run me over a $100 usd, better start saving....

The prices are unsure of at the moment, but expect to pay a few hundred. I remember, last year, he steadily increased the priced with each deck bought. For example, for like the first 20, they may go for X. Then, the next 30, maybe, will go for X+25. Thus, each deck's price steadily increases until sold out. It's best to save up now, but your chances may be slim on getting one when it's in extremely high demand.

In 2011 the prices were from $100-350 but there were just a couple at the low price. Probably similar this year, maybe a bit more costly in general. You'll need to act super fast I'd imagine.

The CARC decks are legit - but supplies are limited.
The HOPC prize decks are legit - but you have to win their monthly contest and I think they only have enough through the end of the year.


Other than that - it's a crap shoot.  I'm told the forgeries have become more sophisticated.  Ask for a certificate of authenticity, but only take as legit ones from "known quantities", like Lee Asher.

You heard it here, hopefully first...  :))


First three decks go for only $99!

He's using a new "auto-reload" feature to stop people from constantly sending reload hits to his server.  A button will appear for you to buy, you click and a deck is actually "reserved" for you to buy - you're given the deck's price (which is locked in for your sale) and have five minutes to complete your purchase.  If you don't, the deck goes back into the pool of available decks and someone else can buy it.  Once all the decks have been paid for, the sale gets declared "officially over" and that's it until next time.  So if you don't get a chance to buy right away, you need to stick around - within five minutes you might just get another chance.

He's accepting PayPal only, but points out that PayPal accepts credit/debit cards and doesn't require you to make an account to make a payment if you have a card.

If this sale is a success, perhaps it will be a model for other sellers to use when releasing a rare deck in short supply.  Personally, I'm hoping it is.

I'm guessing you haven't read the page carefully.  I'll explain.


First, any J-Nugg sold by Lee has his certificate of authenticity.  He gets his decks from a reliable source and they are the genuine article.


Now, the rungs - when you climb a ladder, do you jump to the last rung, or do you start with the first and work your way up?


The rungs are "sold" in order - made available to whoever clicks through first that they want a J-Nugg.  The first rung has three decks, so the first three who click through will get them.  The second rung has three, so the next three people who click through will get them, and so on.  It even states on the first run "the first 3" while all subsequent rungs state "the next X", with X being the number of decks available on that rung.


When you click in, your price is locked in - as is your deck, for the next five minutes.  In the purchase window, no one gets a chance to buy the deck out from under you just because you didn't get your PayPal purchase logged in more quickly.  But when the five minutes are up, if you didn't complete the transaction, it's too late - your deck goes back into the available pool and anyone else left logged into the site can click to get it.


This means that if the sale doesn't become labeled "officially over" on the web page in the first five minutes, there will be at least one if not several more decks available!  This is why Lee Asher is asking people to remain logged into the site.  YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO KEEP RELOADING THE WEB PAGE!  The page will have some kind of web app that will reload the availability status for you in real time - you can sit there comfortably "parked" and just wait for it all to happen.  When the little red "Get a JNug now!" button appears, be ready to click!  But if you didn't get it on the first shot, DON'T RELOAD YOUR PAGE.  The first 144 clicks get a crack at the decks, but that doesn't mean they'll all complete their transactions within the five-minute window!  So you sit there and wait, comfortably "parked" still, let the page load automatically, and after five minutes, if "officially closed" didn't appear on the page, some of those 144 decks will become available again.  The cycle continues until all 144 are sold.  I'm doubtful that it will go past the five-minute mark and near-certain it won't reach ten.


There's also the off-chance that someone will quit their sale, lose their Internet connection, give up trying to pay because they simply don't have the cash, etc. - so more decks may show up before the five-minute mark.  Just wait and be ready.  But don't reload.  :))
