I think you will find that most of those selling for little or nothing are not actually purchasing negatives to reproduce, but rather grabbing images off the net to do so. It's easy to sell for next to nothing when you don't have any skin in the game.
I have actually had a couple of instances where I was selling some slides on eBay and another individual was selling prints of the images before my auction had even ended! In that particular case, a mention of copyright law and attorneys was enough to end his selling of those images. Normally I wouldn't care, as I don't sell reprints, so there's not that ongoing competition. In this case though, the buyer asked me to look into it.
