Is Mark Hamill broke or what?

>>211953894 (OP)
Supply and demand.

>>211953894 (OP)
Disney and Kathleen Kennedy ruined Star Wars.

>>211953894 (OP)
hard to say what its about in this case.
could be just boredom more than the money.
but the money is also nice, meet some nice people that love you. get paid to scribble your name on paper. make enough money to have a free expensive dinner that night.
i would do it, its unfortunate that the money is a filtering tool of sorts, but oh well.

Lmao Orange Man and Space Man mind broke the fuck out of him

>>211953894 (OP)
Hundreds of dollars for every 10 minute interaction. Spend most of your day just shooting the shit with people who worship you. Pretty nice gig desu.

Just wants to leave a nicer inheritance for his grandkids.

>>211954042
>make enough money to have a free expensive dinner that night.
nigga he's making 400 per autograph he'll be able to buy a new house at the end of a weekend

>>211953894 (OP)
>Limited quantities available each day.
signatures growing on trees?

>>211953894 (OP)
Dude's in his mid-70s and doesn't want to waste anymore of his life on this shit than he has to.

>>211953894 (OP)
How much for a good fucking?

>>211953894 (OP)
It's funny because you know he's a champagne socialist and at the same time he's a greedy motherfucker like all of them. Commies are such hypocrites.

>>211954265
So why not just… not do it at all?

>>211954177
kek depends on how many retards pay doesnt it

>>211954331

yeah I wonder if he donates that money to support the illegals in LA ? I mean aside from using it to pay his landscaper.

If he just cut his expenses to that of a normal person he could make a living of one photo a day

>>211954449
i wonder if there are any celebrities that try to live like this. probably too extreme for them and makes networking harder.

>>211954327
Huh, on the back of this sign it says Oral $50, anal... $25?

>>211953894 (OP)
it seems like maybe he doesnt want to spend all day signing autographs that people will just sell on ebay

>>211954106
It's not a gig it's a grift

>>211954536
shut up and sign my picture of your face mark

dude is legendary in terms of a celebrity and with the star wars fandom, its pretty on par with what youd expect. if you wanted 1 picture with him to put in a picture frame at home thatd be cool and not really that expensive
i mean if you could get a picture of harrison ford and hamill with you youd pay 3x as much

>>211954370
whats the difference between not being able to afford it and it simply not being available?

>>211954536

he could just refuse to sign anything, that would be very beverly hills Marxist.

>>211954106
It's a 30 second interaction

>>211953894 (OP)
>Meanwhile, at the Jodelle Ferland booth

>>211954106
not really a nice gig
way easier to do a movie and get paid millions

>>211953894 (OP)
Of course he's broke. How tf does he make any money? VA doesn't pay particularly well and his acting career is nonexistent. He doesn't get royalties from the original trilogy, and he was probably relatively cheap for the sequels.

>>211953894 (OP)
>signed picture of a guy
what am I supposed to do with it?

>>211954774
google says he gets royalties

>>211953894 (OP)
Why even buy smokes

>>211954800
>pay for autograph
>tear it up in front of him
>turn 360 and walk away

While it does seem shitty, I do get it. So many people try to flip autographs, taking shit to get signed by a celebrity they don't really give two shits about just so they can sell a $20 trinket for $500 on ebay, that putting up a price tag filters out a lot of those people and leaves you with people who probably actually want your autograph, or are at least willing to risk not making a profit from it.
Think of it this way
>have an acquaintance who you give shit to because you think they'll use it and enjoy having it
>find out they immediately turn around and sell all of it for FMV
Do you keep giving them shit for free, or do you start selling it to them, or do you start selling it yourself? Chances are good that people who do this probably aren't thinking "wow this guy is so nice, I appreciate his giving me stuff," they're probably thinking "wow this rube is giving me shit for free, when I can turn around and sell it for hundreds! What an idiot!"

>>211954499

>>211954929
For the original or the sequels?

>>211954736

based Glaumaxxer

Because no other actor charges for autographs, right?

>>211954499
I wonder how much he charges for a goon session.

>>211956735
no anon I don't believe that's right

>>211953894 (OP)
As long as people pay he will get away with it.

Guys how can I make my signatures more bulky?

give Mark Hamill a break. he needs booze money

>>211953894 (OP)
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he only does this because people keep selling his autograph on eBay. Charging for your autograph is a dick move otherwise.

>>211953894 (OP)
I just assume Hollywood operates like a mafia. Mark Hamill probably needs to pay weekly triibute/kick up to a few people because he got the Luke Skywalker role.
The injury back then? It was a shakedown.

Belt and ciggies

>>211953894 (OP)
I thought autograph was supposed to be free? Never ask someone for authograph or pic btw, so I have no idea about this

>>211953894 (OP)
I would too, spending my whole life having to sit all day and listen to spazz's go on and on about shit I don't care about at conventions.

>>211953894 (OP)
He's not broke, it's you who's poor.

>>211953894 (OP)
Nah, just a retarded leftie.

Just don't buy the fucking photo ahaha dude, take a photo of him signing autographs to other people if you really need one for your gay scrapbook and walk away lol

>>211958520
kek

just ai that pedo faggot

>>211953894 (OP)

If you give him the money is he obligated to sign anything you give him?

>>211953894 (OP)

Should I take my copy of Castle in the Sky for him to sign?

>>211953894 (OP)
What the fuck is a bulky autograph lol
Does he draw big balls underneath?

>>211953894 (OP)

He lost his house in the LA fires earlier this year, cut him some slack.

>>211954774
>VA doesn't pay particularly well

I don't think Hamill ever served in the military.

>>211955031
little known fact, if you do this and you're a sovereign citizen they have to give you your money back

>>211954774
>Of course he's broke. How tf does he make any money? VA doesn't pay particularly well and his acting career is nonexistent. He doesn't get royalties from the original trilogy, and he was probably relatively cheap for the sequels.
Dudes been working steadily since the 90s and is King of the convention circuit and pulls in 100-500k for a weekend of work. I think he's ok for money.

>>211958383
Most guests at a convention charge for an autograph or photo. These days you can only get free photos/autographs from certain artists/writers.

>>211954042
It's mostly an anti-scalping measure. If his price is low it's not going to magically increase the amount of autographs he can reasonably do an hour so all you're going to have is scalpers camping out or shoving people out of the way to get as many autographed photos at $20 a pop as possible to resell on ebay for a quick $200 each. If Hamill puts the price floor at $400 it fucks up the secondary market so the only people who are likely to be willing to pay for it is people who really really want it, which means less people in line to deal with and a more personalized message and time to actually chat with the person for a minute or two before moving on to the next guy.

It's not like he's making his money off those autographs anyway, they're just extra ontop of the money he's getting paid to attend the convention in the first place/contractual obligation.

>>211958763
You have to pay him extra for the effort of signing something bigger that a piece of paper or poster, it's very hard work.
Pic rel is Hayden Christensen.

>>211959059
Can't believe people are braindead enough to pay for this shit

>>211959055
Seems like an easy measure to counteract.
1 Autograph per person.

>>211959119
Yeah and scalpers will roll in with crews of dozens of people or entire extended families to bypass those restrictions. It's just easier to let the price point do the limiting. It's also why some celebs will opt to insist on an extremely personalized message, and use their own markers to ensure the recipient doesn't hand them one with water soluble ink that the personalized section can be wiped away. Scalping is a huge issue in the memorabilia market and makes conventions fucking gay for legit attendees and fans.

>>211954774
once you get enough money it literally makes itself. he probably made more money from the first star wars alone than he could ever spend

>/tv/ hates Luke Skywalker because muh bolitics
why are you behaving like children

>>211959481

Bolitics is one thing, dude has one of the most hardcore cases of TDS I've ever seen. Blowing a gasket over Trump is all he does now. That was his choice.

You can usually just contact a celebrity's agent and they'll get you an autograph for free.

>>211953894 (OP)
I used to like Hammill. I respected that he got himself together after being obese and a mess for decades. But goddamn it turned out that his horrible body was simply just a vessel for an equally horrible soul.

>>211953894 (OP)
No. He's just greedy. And while you're getting his autographs you get to listen to his anti-Trump liberal sermons.

>>211954350
HIs son knocked up a porn star whore, so I do see that side of not wanting a porn whore living off of you. But at the same time bullying her the way they did was pure evil.

>>211953894 (OP)
What the fuck is "bulky"? Like a toy or something?

>>211958774
He's been scamming at these prices for years...

>>211960513
Probably yeah. If people are gonna use his autograph to bump up the value of action figures, comic books, and stuff, then he no doubt wants extra for doing it.

>>211954350
>>211960476
She wasn't a pornstar. She probably got pregnant on purpose to lockdown $$ but trying to make her have an abortion is evil. She had the gall to cry about people using the kid as a "prop in a culture war" after writing that abortion shit though so it's safe to say everyone involved is terrible.

>>211960552
>bump up the value
His autographs only go for like $100 on eBay.

>>211960627
What do signed 1978 carded action figures or signed original 1977 movie posters go for?

>>211954616
Nope. Actors don't impress me for pretending to be what they aren't as pretty much every woman does that already.

>>211954499
what's with that pricing on real shit

I cannot even comprehend this line what the fuck.

>>211960802
Capitalism allows this btw

>>211959244
When I worked at a convenience store we’d only ever have middle aged people buying Pokemon cards and Hotwheels to try and scalp.

>>211960853
So? Capitalism created everything in this world that you enjoy. Without it you wouldn't have shit and would be some 3rd-worlder living in a tin shack.

>>211954774
He's smart and very likely have an investment or trust fund set up. These convention gigs are mainly for ego stroking or sometimes the celebs actually love meeting fans.

>>211954042
>free expensive dinner that night.
He's probably walking away with 20k for each day he shows up.

>>211960951
The most obvious is most likely true: Lucas didn't pay him shit, all of his other projects didn't pay shit, he most likely never got royalties from Star Wars, and this is how he makes money.

What is "celebrity capitalism"? Also, like capitalism, you have every right not to buy this. I fucking hate Reddit so goddamned much, my god

>>211954774
He's got 20 million.

>>211954774
>He doesn't get royalties from the original trilogy
He gets a quarter of 1% from the original movie.

>>211958002
>Charging for your autograph is a dick move otherwise.
On the street, yeah. But not if you're a draw at a convention.

No it didn't. A huge amount of the tech was N*zi created and Tim Berners-Lee didn't want any profit from the WWW. Obviously he wasn't to know that Jews would destroy it for profit, but he should have because he's not an idiot and that's what Jews do.

Is he charging more for those specific items or is he charging everyone auch higher price than they'd get for resale?

>>211960802
would be interesting to know if its cash only and if you get a receipt

>>211961101

Yes, it literally did and you people need to be banned from voting.
Increases in efficiency and production due to capitalist investment lead to the high living standards you have today.

>>211962344
Communist subhuman bootlickers like yourself call anyone who makes you look bad a neolib kek

Everybody cries and shits their pants over this stuff for no reason other than jealousy. If you could sit your ass on a chair and make, idk, like $50,000 in one day by signing some photos, you would do it in a heartbeat with no questions asked.

Beyond that argument, as another anon said it's about supply and demand. Demand for Hamill signing photos is infinite at one of these cons. In order to make it fair to people who REALLY FUCKING WANT HIS Autograph there is a steep price attached, so that those people can line up and get their autograph before he goes home. The people who are just there to maybe make a quick buck from his signature or aren't that much a fan won't line up, making the line smaller and more manageable. You may think that he just signs a photo and says "fuck off" but I imagine at that price point he gives everyone at least a good 2 minutes or so to chat with him. After just 100 autographs that's over 3 hours, not counting his breaks and stuff.

>>211953894 (OP)
Actors should do this for free

>>211954370
a high price is a way to leave the option open to those who really care, without having to put up with a thousand people per day going "hey there's hamill, might as well get a signature while we're here"

>>211953947
>demand
Where?

Only the super rich deserve acknowledgement by superstar actor Mark Hammill.

>>211959111
well if there's a 100 that would pay $2 and 1 that is willing to pay $200 you only have to do 1% of the work
just gotta find your personal sweet spot

Trump this, Trump that. God, who cares, what Mark or any other celebrity thinks about him is not something I need to concern myself with

>>211954106
>worship you
These people are there to get something to sell on eBay then hope he kicks immediately after so it increases in value
>>211960951
>he’s smart

>>211955038
I've worked conventions before and this is basically it. It got so bad in recent years with people bringing up 50 Funko Pops for the person to sign that they started charging obscene prices for autographs to filter them out. Most of the time they're willing to hook a fan up if they're not just there for FOTM garbage and can actually reference things outside of what they're most known for.

>>211953894 (OP)
>https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/
What the fuck is this brain damaged communist shithole?
lmao why do these people exist? HAHAHAHA

>>211962656
The point is that if the price were lower, it would be more in demand, and thus more bothersome and time consuming.
If I were him, I would charge more. Fuck Star Wars fans.

It's the case of he doesn't want to spend 12 hours signing autographs at every convention or whatever.
he can just be done with that in half an hour this way. plus you get rid of people who only want autographs to sell those on ebay.

>>211953894 (OP)
all the aids treatments cant be cheap

>>211954202

>>211960791
He needs to replace his autograph.

I think its insane people care about autographs

>>211953894 (OP)
Poojeeta's checks didn't clear .

i doubt he sets those prices, he probably wants fucking nothing to even do with this shit
also they all show up on ebay

>>211963378
It kind of is. I used to get autographs of pro players I liked when I was a teen, then I realized it's just a scribble that you can't really do anything with

>>211955038
How does that make sense? If he charges 400, you charge 600 on the flip instead of 200.
>he doesn't want to sign so much
So just do a limited number of random raffle tickets and you can only have one per convention.

You guys just don't like the fact that he's an old greedy man who wants to profit off of fan worship and probably hates you as much as Ford does or Guinness did but sees you as a quick source of free dosh.

>>211963557
>So just do a limited number of random raffle tickets
More tedious and annoying way to do it for everyone than just charging a demand-based price

>>211953894 (OP)
He probably had to do a lot of cocaine after those Disney movies

>>211953894 (OP)
I have a few autographed polaroids of me dressed like Return Of The Jedi Luke posing with Mark Hamill by his house in the 80’s. Some extremely super gay guy that worked for my parents was “friends” with Mark and took me to meet him.

>>211960791
are you enjoying your first week on the internet?

I don't think they set those prices themselves. It cost me about $100 to shake Ian McDiarmid's hand a few years back.

>>211954042
William Shatner does cons and he's like 94 and he only charges a little over a 100 I think

>>211963660
Concession accepted. He wants money. It's OK to want money. But don't pretend it's for any other reason.

>>211953894 (OP)

>>211964200

I acknowledge the doubling down of your concession.

>>211964229
He looks like a pillhead to me but idk I'm not an addict

>>211953894 (OP)
You'd try to bleed them dry too if you had to put up with star wars fans all day.

Mark Hamill genuinely seems to hate himself and his life. Guy probably thought he was going to be Jack Nicholson and it turns out he's just one of the biggest shabbos house niggers in existence. He is very sad.

All I can think of when I think of this boomer cocksucker now is him sucking off the cow with a strike in Nu Wars and how that's probably how his entire existence is except with kikes and not cows.

>>211964405
Hamill really does seem broken down. Imagine wanting to be known for something besides Star Wars but all you get are Star Wars fans all day kek

>>211953894 (OP)
In his defense of they were free he’d be doing it all day everyday. Still it’s sort of sad

>>211963557
> If he charges 400, you charge 600 on the flip instead of 200.
Nobody would buy it then. Things have value assigned to them by the potential buyers. Most people won't pay $600 for a picture of Luke Skywalker with Mark's signature on it, so scalpers are not going to risk their $400 on maybe making $200. They WILL risk a measly $20 to make a quick $200 which most real fans of Mark likely would pay for at that rate.

>>211964532
Hey he has the Joker voice at least. He isn't exactly a one trick pony.

I didn't really care for Hamill's Joker. The performance insisted upon itself.

why is star wars such a career killer?

>mark hamill and carrie fisher only did voice work for the rest of their careers
>hayden christensen did pretty much nothing outside of the prequels

Jesus Christ, and I thought that Shatner was pricey at $160

>>211959055
>anti-scalping measure

That’s why they personalize the signatures. It makes it seem more personable and friendly to the recipient, and makes it a lot tougher to resell.

>>211959481
Yup. Literally any post I’ve ever seen of his on social media has been some variation of bitching about Trump. I’m not saying you’re not allowed to dislike Trump, but holy fuck dude, Trump probably doesn’t even know who Mark Hammil is. Get a fucking hobby, dude.

>>211953894 (OP)
Also he's suffering from dementia

First you have to get a role, despite being radioactive, then you have to show up and act for a few months than you have to promote it.

Or you can do six cons a year and make the same amount of money in 12-18 days of “work”

What was his problem? Was he going to keep Sheeta there as his wife or what? She's his cousin, what a weirdo.

>>211953894 (OP)
It's illegal for the actors not to charge money for pics. There was a big controversy in the cons some years back about the girl from Sleepaway Camp refusing to make people pay for her pics and she was banned from all the cons until she agreed to make people pay years later.

You can always tell this is the case when a retard suddenly decides to become a political expert and they just loudly offer up mainstream party talking points.

I've been thinking about this recently. Not about autographs but with the aging A-listers are start cranking out movies every 6 months out of the blue then say they are doing it to leave money for their family when they've already made hundreds of millions of dollars. I mean even if one of them had a bitch of an ex-wife who got half their fortune in a divorce they should still have tens of millions of dollars.

>>211953894 (OP)
Are there people who would genuinely pay hundreds of dollars for some one-hit-wonder faggot to sign their T-shirt?

Do they really, though? If it was common, he'd up his rates. Could just be stockpiling stuff for after he croaks

>>211967936
>Do they really, though?
Yes.
>If it was common, he'd up his rates.
How often do you see Mark Hamill make public appearances that include signing autographs? It's a rare event.

>>211960468
>NOOO you can't know your worth!

>>211958774
>cut him some slack
Don't live in LA. Those people deserved everything they got. Hamill especially should have been charbroiled.

>>211965468

That was the plan

Unfortunately for him, Sheeta's is only mean for Big Pazu Cock

>>211963472
No, it's the celebrities or their agents that set the prices. Unless he has a movie/show to promote and is contractually obligated to do promotion at cons then he's free to go wherever he likes, he obviously likes all the money under the table he gets from suckers.

All the more reason for the price of brick to go up. I don't think there are as many resellers as one might think

>>211968761
Yes because fuck Mark.

>>211965949
Dummy

>>211954202
Fake scarcity is an actual economic term.
Some would even argue that as Hamill is a human being with an expiration date that by definition means his signature is de facto a limited product.

There is a whole cottage industry of faggots who resell autographs on Ebay.
If he gave his autograph away for free, fuckers on Ebay would scalp them hard
Not sure what to do against tha.t

>>211960853
good

>>211953894 (OP)
U$400 for a photo, Jesus Christ!

My signature in cursive never looks the same. Are there any celebrities that have this issue? I'd like to know if it mind breaks eBayers/resellers.

>>211969603

>>211969580
If he gave them away for free he could just do hundreds at a time, water down the market and make them not worth scalping

>>211969556
>even though it was the fault of George's shitty dialogue
no, his acting in those movies is atrocious

>>211969708

Nigga, no one could have salvaged George's autismo writing.

Natalie Portman is a literal Academy Award for Best Actress winner and her performance in Star Wars is considered a low point in her career

Mark is the biggest cuckboi faglord there is.

>>211969312
They asked why it kills careers. That's why. There's no growth involved. At its peak, it was the unrelated drugs and star culture that killed people like Hamill and Fisher. (I hate Ford but he's a non-issue.) -- In modern times, it's because the fanbase is oppressive and the heads are nostalgia-obsessed. The ONLY people who survive Star Wars are people who existed independently of it. If you were built up by the series, you're forever tied to it and the optics of diminishing value.

>>211953947
>people still like and respect woketards like hamill
lol no it's not 2018 anymore.

wait until you learn about gacha games

i'm reminded of...a season 2 venture bros commentary, maybe season 3 or 4, doc hammer is talking about a convention they're at and people are charging $20 for autographs/pictures, but the guy who voices The Alchemist (shake from athf) arrives and says "fifty cents"

>he can't afford $400 for a timeless memento from one of his most cherished actors growing up
Sad really. I frequently drop $1-2k to sleep with my favourite porn stars.

i stretched 400$ across the past 16 months

>>211971611
>tfw it's too late for me to pay for my pornfu
rip Dakota Skye

Is there a celebrity (You) would pay to have a photo taken with?

>>211972196
mads mikkelsen
but he'd quietly pocket me $20 instead

>>211972284
Damn you're cool.

>>211953894 (OP)
I've seen C-list actors charge the same amount for a photo, and people pay it. At least Mark is a real celebrity.

>>211953894 (OP)
How is this capitalism? Whose labor value is he exploiting?

>>211964405
Fisher did say he was probably hurt that he was Luke Skywalker but Ford had the great career.
Tbh after the car crash he was fucked, he lost his looks.

Mel Gibson

>>211958520
Kek, I was at a convention I had gotten a free ticket to and simply walked by Lou Ferrigo's table to get a look at him and his handlers popped out to do exactly this. They were acting like I was stealing money out of his pocket or something

>>211964827
None of those people are great actors.

>>211964827
>>mark hamill and carrie fisher only did voice work for the rest of their careers
Hamil's twink factor died in a car crash, Fisher was a druggie and aged like 20 years between ANH and ROTJ.
>Christensen
ROTS' retarded dialogue made everyone believe he can't act.
>John Boyega and Ridley
Boyega is a charisma vacuum and Ridley genuinely cannot act.

>>211960597
>got pregnant on purpose
Yeah and I suppose the guy kept jizzing in her by accident

>>211953894 (OP)
My brother in Christ you played a wizard a million years ago on screen. How are you able to go to sleep at night knowing that you conned people out of lots of money just to take a photograph with you? That just feels so scummy. Photos should basically be like less than $50. Like dude thank you for coming out and for liking his one character all these years. I love and appreciate you. I hope what you took out of the character was things that pointed you toward the greatest good in the universe--Jesus. But paying this guy through the nose for a picture? Especially when it's been years and he's old as balls? Like come on now.
>I'm almost dead so get me while I last!
No, dude. It's a photo, not the second coming.

>>211954774
There are these things called investment opportunities you retarded pleb, and if you've been alive as long as he has, through the time periods that he was let alone with the employment opportunities he had then thee is literally no reason why he shouldn't be rich as fuck

>>211965134
And just imagine that for a second. Imagine how much a meme that is. Think about caring so much about how a person writes their name that you'd collect them. These people are deities. They bend over and grunt when they squat and take a dump like the rest of us. Putting them on such a pedestal to the point where you're gawking at a basic skill like handwriting is sad, really.

>>211961105
Christian Bale is Welsh though, that's a lot farther than they usually go

>>211965134
Wrong. Autographs actually have resell value.

they just made him do his american accent

>>211965744

Probably trying to quit smoking and sneaking them in behind the back of his wife.

>>211972196
why would anyone hoverhand a whore you could anally fist for 10 dollars? that's a new level of pathetic.

>>211968916
do you think there's some kind of digital signature on the autographs somehow? I don't see how someone would not just imitate his signature but then again I'm not into collectibles.

>>211958685
Is that Matt Murdock?

>>211953894 (OP)
I had to handle the queue for a Harrison Ford signing at a fan event in the early 00s, it was horrible. Star Wars fans are animals, so many of them tried to cut in line and two of them got into a fight over some cosplayer girl who was trying to ignore them while she waited for her autograph. Never again, I thought I had a sweet deal to do some backstage shit but it was just a hassle.

lol it's like 20 seconds max and 10 seconds minimum, it's not a meet and greet. these things always sell out before hand you can't just go in line. he's making an insane amount of money per hour someone do the math.

>>211967787
need more cash to buy a ticket to the global elite bunker

>>211967787
>tens of millions of dollars.
I grew up quite well off, not like filthy rich but my parents were comfortably wealthy. They ran into some bad luck in the 00s and lost most of it before dying so I ended up with squat. I'm doing OK, got a good job and an almost paid off apartment but I know with my career I'll never get to their previous level of wealth. Growing up Hollywood rich and then doing a normal job for the rest of your life or even just being a minor millionaire must be a similar downgrade for them.

>>211958383
depends on the place, like if you're at comics convention it's good manners to ask for the autograph on something they sell or sold previously. It's a nice bonus but I don't see the point of a standalone autograph if you're not selling it later on.

>>211959055
they should just nix autographs and get only photos or even just do that handshake thing idols do in japan. That way it's truly only for the fans.

>>211965134
collecting anything that is of no use to you is retarded anyways

If he left a voicemail as the Joker on my answering machine I'd pay $100 for that but thats about it

>>211977818
>resell value.
*resale value

I mean his house burnt down, given what kind of person he was and what memorabilia etc might have lost it could easily have been a 10-50 million loss, insurance or not.

>>211953894 (OP)
Why doesn't Harrison Ford do this?
Oh yeah, he's not a cartoon voice actor.

>>211982257
It's a hobby like any other. You buy, sell, and trade autos like comics, cards, or anything else. My appeal of autos is in meeting someone but it having resale value as opposed to a photo which doesn't. Although if you go to a con with Dana Snyder, you get your money's worth for $40. >>211982202

>>211960976
>he most likely never got royalties from Star Wars
Maybe from the first one, but after that his agent would've been an actual retard not to negotiate for royalties and his likeness for merchandizing.

>>211979907
He was charging almost this much when he looked like this years before SW was bought.

>>211982499
Just use AI and not be disappointed slowpoke

>>211964827
Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, and Adam Driver all did really well after Star Wars.

>>211953894 (OP)
Selling a few expensive products is a lot less work than selling a lot of inexpensive products

>>211984543
Already connected people. Nobody gets noticed from beginning in SW.

>>211984554
Except this isn't a product it's an imagined currency.
