Pretty disgusting

It ticked me off at first. It still does a bit. I do understand why they do it though. I saw one seller who must've been hoarding Farrah dolls (waiting for her to die), list like 4 at once within hours of her death. I saw one within an hour of her death with a BIN of $250!!!
Seems I recall these barely fetching $25 MIB last year.

Are you only upset when the sellers offer things at high prices? What if a seller starts something low and the BUYERS drive it up? Is this "unethical"?

I'm sorry, i just see these situations as simple cases of supply and demand.

Then start the auction at 99 cents instead of $49.99.

I actually want one...not as some morbid curiosity collectible...but to pay tribute to the lovely Farrah Fawcett...I'm also getting her famous poster (which I had back in the 70s).

It's inevitable.

I remember when Roy Orbison died.
He hadn't been in the news for decades, and all of a sudden he was "the legendary", "a god among musicians",...

And two months later, nobody talked about him anymore...

It's no different than art enthusiasts paying more money for paintings done by an artist who recently died.

The whole "art" of "collecting" is knowing when to buy and sell - and for how much.

Yea I know, some people say "money doesn't matter"
Well, my responce is ... try not having any for a while and see if it still doesn't matter.
