A proper waiver or disclaimer is usually effective to eliminate liability for negligent conduct. Intentional acts like fraud are never proper subjects for pre-event waivers of liability. However, to prove fraud you would have to show that the seller knew it was a photocopy AND that you reasonably relied on a representation by the seller to the contrary. Since the seller states up front it is "Believed to be Not Authentic" you don't stand a snoball's chance in hell of convincing anyone you reasonably relied on anything the seller told you.

Stop doing business with thieves and you won't get burned.
+1 Thanks Adam. I wrote about 3 responses that essentially said the exact same thing but didn't post them as they didn't sound like yours .

The auction house said it wasn't good, you bought it. Now you want to go to law enforcement for not knowing or being defrauded? See Adams response and live and learn.
