Morality of selling autographs on ebay

[Josianne]

If you need money if a good thing to sell them but you need proof to people who wan to buy them that they are authentic autograph.
Maybe it will be good to get a certification of authenticity !

I would say go for it. A lot of athletes and celebs themselves don't like the idea of their autograph being sold on ebay when acquired through the mail because they seem like something you acquired "free" but keep in mind you took the time and effort to acquire that. If someone is interested in buying that from you on eBay rather than put the time in themselves then there is value in that. If you aren't hounding celebs just simply to sell them but are instead selling a few pieces of your collection I see nothing wrong with it.

I dont personally think its cool to sell your autographs but if you really need money i understand it and have no problem with it if you need cash...Its just the dealers who sell full time i dont like,they pretend to be fans to get autographs with the intention of selling it which is lame but if you just need to sell a few here and there thats up to you and as long as you know they are 100% legit its fine.

If you are tight on money, which many people are at the moment, I think that if you want to sell your autographs that you've acquired TTM is okay. It's not something we should really encourage, and it is slightly immoral as they are signing your photos for free but if you gave like 10-20% of the proceeds to a charity then I think that would make up for it.

CoAs are worthless; you can make them yourself. Although it does look better to have them if you're selling on eBay as non-autograph collectors aren't as aware about them as we are.

I've met dealers at film premieres. They are ruthless and are often rude to the celebrities if they don't sign their photos
