Paid Cash for items that were fake, now I want money back?

Question

I apid cash for some items that were fake and I verified they were, am I able to get my cash back from the person? It was a cash only transaction and I picked up items, paid and left. Then found out they were fake. Am I safe at all?

No receipt. It was just someone on craiglist.com. I met with not the seller but the sellers friend and paid cash and left within 2 minutes of receiving the items. I took it to the store(that only sells these items) and they told me they were replicas/fake. So am I out of my money? I have no other proof I bought these from the seller.

Answer 1

Do you have a receipt? If not, it'd be hard for you to prove it was he who sold it to you. What proof have you got that he represented them to be genuine? Was it too cheap to be genuine? If so, they'd say you should have known that for that price you should have known it had to be fake, etc, etc. These are the questions they'd throw at you.
