I'm of two minds on the subject. People can do whatever the heck they want with their own stuff. It's Business 101 - if you think you can take advantage of a situation (the death of a player) to make a sale and earn a profit, then it's undoubtedly a smart play to do so.
However, me personally? When I see the immediate, rapacious listings on ebay following a player's death (like Seaver and Brock recently), and all of the flowery verbiage the sellers throw into their listings, it pisses me off to no end, so I just shake my head and zip past their listings, paying them no mind.
