RIP Billy Mays... Sellers Already Exploiting Him...

Hi, For those who don't know: TV infomercial pitchman Billy Mays has died. After Michael Jackson died, it was no surprise to me that people wer'e selling lots of MJ things on eBay, including the people selling things like a copy of the Thriller LP for $500,000, saying in their description to "buy it now before it's gone". This RARE item actually has like 30 million copies out there in all of the thrift stores and in people's attics, big deal. My point: Doesn't it seem kinda sick for sellers to already be selling Billy Mays items, so soon after his death? One seller is listing an autographed package of OxyClean. He even says in the main title that Billy Mays has died, so this is not some coincidence, the seller purposely posted this item just today(and it's a 24-hour auction). At what point is it too soon to post items on eBay? Isn't there a grain of dignity left in America? What ever happened to etiquette? Take a moment to search(by highest price first) items with the names: Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays. It's really sad how blatant people can be with making a few quick bucks off of a celebrity's death. Okay, I know others will disagree... Comments? p.s. I'll be selling a piece of toast said to have been touched by the King of Pop(Elvis).
