Well I was just wondering, how much will people be willing to pay for the autograph of their favourite artistes?
And WHY?

For me, I'll love to pay (but not too much) for dbsk's autographs..

Partly because being neither a Korean nor Japanese fan, there is almost impossible for me to ever meet them in real life (gosh!) so an autograph becomes such a hard to get treasure for me.. hahah..

Also, I will probably feel that the autographs are a sort of consolation for being unable to see them in person.
Like, "AT LEAST I have their autograph that was hand-signed by THEM".
(no i will not sniff the autographs for their scent, i'm not THAT crazy yet. XD)

Hahah so share your thoughts about this too!
Would love to hear your opinions :D

if i have a lot of money in my pocket, I would definitely buy SNSD and SHINee's signatures ^^
but it will be an honor if will be able to get DBSK, Big Bang and Super Junior signatures.

But I will be MORE happy if I get it free

I just bought some online...

Junsu's solo autograph costed $10USd and all the members costed $20USD
they're on 4r photos.

Not willing to spend over $30 for just a picture. But if its on photobooks or CDs, thats a whole different story! LOL

Hahah I just bought their autographed album online and it cost be $70..
but i guess it's worth it anyway since it's a promo cd..
(i'm a bit paranoid about the authencity of autographs )

Haha I was a little iffy about it at first. But then I saw how the person had all these limited edition concert goods and all those cassiopiea balloons, I decided to give it a shot. Like.. you never know if they're real whether they're a photobook or a simple sheet of paper. Even if I get scammed, it'll only be one week of allowance, LOL

the newer mirotic autographs were $60 for a whole set on photographs. I thought it was a rip off. But the one I bought was like.. at least 2 years old.

[elavip]

honestly, nothing more than $20. even that is pushing it, lmfaoo. but if it was offered to me face to face, i think i'll be more pressured or whatever to purchase it, so idk! but, through the internet, uh yeah i don't think i'll even consider buying an autograph. i'd rather spend my money on their merchandises! nevermind autograph.

edit: yeah, i agree, it's more meaningful if you get it signed for youu.

lol. Don't say that; just because you're not a Korean/Japanese fan doesn't mean you'll never get the chance to meet them.
Like me! I got to see TVXQ and it was in America too (Hollywood Bowl 2008).

Anyways, to answer your question...
I don't think I'd pay to get their autographs.
Because first, you don't know if it's authentic or not (no matter what people say).
And second, I doubt I'd be satisfied with just the autograph itself.
I'd rather just wait for the chance to have the artist sign it right in front of me.
Cus only then will the autograph actually mean something to me.

[Shortyyy126]

none. an autograph is only valuable if i personally got it signed myself.

[mizer_unmei]

I paid exactly 10,000 won this summer. (about $10 USD) They were selling signed copies of Jaurim's latest album at their concert I went to. ^^

But yeah, I'm not big into signatures. It doesn't really count unless you get it signed yourself.

[dothat36]

nothing... i want to be there when they sign it...it kinda doesn't have the same meaning.

[sweetbait]

^ I know what all of you mean. It sure does seem meaningless unless you're there when they sign it. But for those who may not even get to meet them, the closest you can get is an autograph.

I've been dying to go to a dbsk concert, the one time I got close, the concert was cancelled!

[summerdamsel]

the reason why an autograph is precious is because it serves as a memento of the unforgettable moment, right?
lol so i'd rather get it for free..

[<3KIMZ<3]

i've seen a few people sell autographed goods and it is quite tempting but i have to agree with Anita, i would not buy them. just because i rather get them personally. not that i dun trust those who are selling them but it really is more meaningful when they sign it just for you. trust me, it really does. i've gotten big bang and suju's autographs and those are just on regular pieces of paper and it feels more satisfying and meaningful looking at those autographs than ones u just buy. now if only i can get dbsk ones... >_< was so close once.. sigh....

[sweetbait]

^ you're so lucky to get any autograph!! the closest I got to any of them was the airport in korea (to which they were there the next day!) aahhh.

You can only get autographs in fanmeetings right?

[SummerRains]

lol. Don't say that; just because you're not a Korean/Japanese fan doesn't mean you'll never get the chance to meet them.
Like me! I got to see TVXQ and it was in America too (Hollywood Bowl 2008).

Oh you're so lucky!
If only dbsk will come to Singapore too.. XD

Yeah, it does seem like the closest we can get is an autograph.. D:
Oh and are you talking about the SM Town bangkok concert?
Cos I was counting on that too, but it got postponed in the end and I have to go to school..

[ihlubdbsg]

If I had a chance to physically receive all of their signatures, let's say @ a fan-signing event, I would be willing to spend my whole paycheck on them even if it means that I'd be broke as heck for the next two weeks. xD

[SillyyJenn]

$10. I mean it's just a sig.
I'd pay $100 if they signed it in front of me writting "To Jennifer" xDDD
This would only apply for BigBang and JesseMcCartney.
For others I wouldn't care as much.

[gayness]

5 dollar..... I'll sign it myself.

[min_60]

I'd only willing to pay if they sign it in front of me. Maybe for $200...

And the only artists I'd be willing to pay this much for would be dbsk only.

[meimei__KOUSEKI]

depends. i usually get it for free coz my friends like spoiling me. one of them who went to one of the fansigning events of TVXQ gave me hers ^^
