“一刀穷，一刀富”？网络“赌石”下手需谨慎！

Core Viewpoint - The rise of online "gambling on stones" has attracted significant consumer attention, but the inherent uncertainty in the quality of the stones can lead to disputes, as highlighted by a recent court case in Wuxi [1]. Group 1: Case Summary - A Wuxi consumer, referred to as Xiao Sun, purchased two pieces of jadeite stones claimed to be "natural A-grade from Myanmar" for 19,800 yuan through a live-streaming platform [3]. - The seller, Dazhong Company, provided a purchase declaration stating the unpredictability of the stone's internal composition and that returns would not be accepted after cutting [3]. - After cutting, Xiao Sun was dissatisfied with the results and claimed fraud, arguing that the seller could not prove the origin of the stones and that the delivered stones did not match the ones shown in the live stream [3]. Group 2: Court Ruling - The Wuxi court found that Dazhong Company provided sufficient documentation to prove the sourcing of the stones and noted that the risks associated with "gambling on stones" are higher than those of ordinary goods [5]. - The court ruled that since the seller had clearly communicated the risks and Xiao Sun had voluntarily confirmed the cutting, he bore the responsibility for the outcome [5]. - The judgment emphasized the importance of respecting transaction rules and encouraged consumers to assess risks carefully when engaging in such specialized transactions [6].
