Ringo Starr Stops Signing Autographs Because Of Resale

Ringo Starr, former Beatles member, has announced that he will stop signing autographs because so called "fans" are reselling them online, on websites like eBay. Who wouldn't?

Ringo Starr, 69, has two years ago said that he has to deny requests for autographs because he couldn't handle the amount of fan mail but he's coming clean now that the reason he is stopping is because of the resale. These people don't know that even celebrities browse through websites like eBay and Craigslist!

Oh well, a good way to stop autograph hunters is to personalize the item so their scope of reselling becomes pretty small with a name on it! But really, it's a pity that because of these people hungry for a quick buck, genuine fans are denied of the thrill of having an autograph of their idol. I know what it means since I love collecting autographs too!
