The point of the matter is, it didn't sell. And it won't until this guy becomes successful. I'd be SUPER happy that people even know who I am, that they'd want to sell my autograph!
It doesnt matter if it sold or not. The point is that someone asks for his autograph and gets it for free. Then turns around and tried to make a quick buck. Whether it happened or not doesnt matter. Its taking advantage of someones generosity. Just because he isnt successful in your eyes doesnt make him unsuccessful in someone elses eyes. You cant say he isnt successful because he doesnt have a charted hit or whatever because I really like bands that no one has ever heard of. I am sure you do too. but to my next point...

If brad pitt or whoever (joe blow down the street) would sign for someone and that person turns around and sells it, people would be mad and talk about how its ruining the autograph hobby we all love. I have seen it done many times on this thread. Well known or not still doesnt make it right. But for the sake of arguement, I think me and you need to agree to disagree.

Totally get what you're saying. But I do believe there is a certain line that distinguishes the successful from the not. A band will tell you that they certainly are more successful when they have 100,000 fans than 100. But anyway. I do agree that it's taking advantage of someone's generosity, but still, any publicity is good publicity at this point. We can certainly agree to disagree {up}
Bylli - don't get too upset about this! ;-) Best wishes to you.

Upset about this? No, I am not.
Just dont agree with someone trying to make a buck off my generosity.
