If it exist a market, then I would sell them myself on ebay.

I'd be a bit annoyed, yes. If I'm giving out autographs I want it to be people who actually want it, not people trying to make a quick buck.

Of course none of this is anything I actually need to worry about.

if you are a celebrity and you think people aren't going to sell your autographed stuff then you're a fucking dumbass, and if you refuse to sign autographs because you don't want people to do that then you're a dumb, petty, spoiled, arrogant piece of shit

You seem angry. You probably asked a celebrity for an autograph and they told you to go fuck yourself.

That is a valid reason to not want to sign autographs.

That said, she doesn't really need a reason, she can choose not to sign whatever she doesn't want to sign.

Duran: Celebrities are stupid if they don't expect to be exploited for cash.

Also Duran: Celeberties are stupid and petty if they don't let themselves be exploited for cash.

Like.... dude?

Some people are going to cherish the signature as story to tell people. Others are going to profit or try to profit off it. Question is why should you give a damn as a celebrity. If you don't want to sign shit then don't, but don't make assumation you can't be sure of if the person is a real fan or a exploiter. It's such a weak exploit also. It's 3 seconds.

if you enter into a profession where you are a product that is being marketed and sold, yeah, it's pretty stupid and petty if you think a special exception to being marketed and sold should apply to you.

If you believe that, then why would someone be "a dumb, petty, spoiled, arrogant piece of shit" for not giving out autographs?

If I was famous, and people knew me well enough to want my signature, i'd sign at every opportunity and not care at all if they kept it or if they sold it. If they sell it, it's going to someone that wants it, and i'd respect that.

So no, I wouldn't care in the slightest. If they told me directly they were going to sell it on ebay, i'd still sign.

I wouldnt care. I sold it to them and its theirs to do with it what they please. If i saw they were going for a decent price, i would make a puppet account and sell them myself.
