i think it is stupid to ask their fans for money, don't they get enough already it just shows that they are not bothered about their fans.

5 minutes would get about maybe 10 pictures autographed, and packaged.

Well that makes a big difference. It can change 10 people's lives.

I think its wrong to charge 4 an autograph especially if ur 13 like me I hav no money and t make the 20 bucks or so I need to do hard work I cant just pull it outta my pocket

I agree.

Unless its for charity, its stupid and selfish. They should be glad they have fans and shouldnt charge to prove you're one. BLEH!

If its somebody REALLY famous then I would have to agree with them as their autograph is usually very rare. If its somebody not that famous then I would have to disagree.

I also dont like how people think that they owe us an autograph just because "we made them famous" 90% of people that are famous are famous because theyre good at what they do be it acting singing dancing sports whatever and those people would make their way into the public eyes sooner or later like it or not. At least in person a lot will actually acknowledge your there. Yea Id like to see a day when no one charged for an autograph but I blame people who sell autographs more then I blame the people who sell the autographs more then I blame the celebs. Cause for every one of us true fans out tryin to get an auto there are at least 3 or 4 dealers looking for an auto to sell. The other day I went to try and get Mandy Moores autograph and these guys came up to me and my friend and were saying "Do you know how much money we could make off these if she doesnt personalize?" and talking about how they were gonna sell them so when they walked across the street for lunch I had pointed out to the people whose building they were parked at of that the side of there building said no parking and they had the car towed

Id like to say that itd be great if theyd at least give an autopen or pp but you gotta think having those printed or buyin an autopen machine costs a nice chunk of change too
I agree with the selling part for personal gain... i collect and sell for charity.. does that count as bad??

I do not however think that all celebs "owe" us autographs.. yes, the people are famous because they are good at what they do.. but also, they have no one to be "good at what they do" for if they don't have fans. I like the celebs who create a good (safe and somewhat distant) relationship with us fans. I don't think they owe us anything, but i do not like it when celebs ask me to pay for an autographed photo when i want to donate it to charity.. i think that stinks, and yes, it has happened.

I don't however like it when fans get to personal or become stalker like with the celebs.. that's when we all miss out cos people get carried away..

thanks for posting.. sorry got abit off topic for abit haha.. i think i confused myself haha

cheers...

Ok yeah I should have been more clear I was talking about people who sell for personal gain. Ive sold a couple autos myself (well ok raffled them off) but that was for charity. I have been asked to pay for an autograph for charity before and it made me mad.

I don't agree with paying for autographs. That is of course providing the collector covers the postage etc - the celeb should not be out-of-pocket either!

As a charity collector I would never pay for an autograph. Don't get me wrong, I understand that people need to make a living, but if they have to start charging for writing their name on a photo then they should really be looking at a career change.

Signing autographs is a by-product of being in the public domain. Either don't sign autpgraphs, or sign them freely is my advice!

I'm okay with it if it's from like $1-10 and if it is going to be donated to charity. I recently paid $10 for a Jane Seymour auto. It was worth it because I love her and she donates the money to charity.
