You may agree with the practice but that doesn't make it right. It is your opinion and not that of many people on here. The truth is that several celebs have stopped signing because they find out that what they thought they were signing for a person's collection was winding up on the internet for sale. That is a fact!. I can understand where they are coming from. Not all celebs are socialists.
on this one. Unless you specifically tell them you are going to sell one (or all) for "shipping costs" and they sign, I'm with most of the true TTM'rs on here. Take what I'm doing for example. I'm raising money for Relay For Life and writing/emailing celebs letting them know if they choose to sign, their autographed item will be auctioned/raffled/sold for the benefit of finding a cure for cancer, etc. At least I'm up front and leave the decision up to them.
Otherwise, everything else I send and receive goes straight into my collection. If I can't afford shipping 100 items at a time, I ship 1 or 2 at a time - I really don't see that as an excuse to sell a duplicate.
Here is a YouTube video that discusses this very subject:
