Profiting from the crash

[broughtonblue]

Was wondering if anybody was sick enough to try and prosper from the death of Vichai. Then saw these on eBay.?

Also I was wondering what people's attitude would be to the scarf sellers around the stadium if they were selling them for personal gain? I think personally I would have to say something.

This is shameful. Also a reflection of the world we live in unfortunately.

I wouldn't give them the publicity by having a thread on it tbh.

Don't get the problem. Someone dies and their autographs are put on eBay or their price goes up. Happens to absolutely every famous person that dies.

These aren't even signed photos so it's probably not the issue some are making out.

So they're just photos of him?

[Captain...]

Are they really doing anything wrong?

 

He sells high res glossy photos that are probably copyrighted, the Vichai ones are reasonably priced for an A4 print cheaper than some of his other prints. If I wanted an A4 picture to remind myself of the great man I’d probably buy one. Personally I don’t but I imagine some people might, in which case there is a demand and so a supplier.

 

It’s not like he has created an account on the back of this tragedy.

It looks like that, yes.

A lot of these photos have been on sale for a long time, seems like their just changing the focus of them.

Playing devils advocate on the scarf q - of course the main aim for the scarf sellers is profit but some people might want a memorial scarf as a momento.

In that case I would request the club to sell them officially, with the money going to good causes. Anyone selling scarves outside the ground is clearly profiteering.

Don't buy it then?

[dyanmark]

Michael Jackson estate  just made 400 million dollars last year .Incredible

[Mendi]

Sadly people will not learn. 

[Foxes1]

Not as bad as some sites that are selling t-shirts with his name / pictures on

I think we're in danger of being hyper-sensitive here. If people want to spend money on a photo then that's up to them. No one's making them buy it. Lets focus on the huge amount of warmth and love going around than this negative stuff.
