I absolutely do not know why anyone would want to buy an autograph - except maybe
1) The attraction of having something that your idol has actually touched, like a relic of a saint
or 2) The commercial added value of the thing.
I can see that you might like to have one as a souvenir of an actual meeting - and for me it would be the meeting, not the autograph, that would be important. Asking for an autograph is a kind of legitimate reason for talking to someone famous who you wouldn't otherwise have any excuse for bothering - the scribble on the book or the bit of paper is neither here nor there. So yes, I'd get my book signed so that I could talk to the author - but I'd be just as happy to have the chat without the autograph.
I'm with Max here - I don't really "get" autographs.

What about the old story of Truman Capote in a Key West bar ...
A woman drinking with her husband spots Capote across the bar
approaches him and asks if he'd sign his autograph on her breast ....
Capote obliges and signs her breast....Drunk husband becomes angry
confronts Capote and while standing over him flops out his penis and suggests that Capote autograph it also ..
Capote looks up and says ...
Don't know if I can autograph it but maybe I can initial it

Rasta says "When I'm getting jiffy with my lady this says WELCOME TO JAMAICA"

Why couldn't he sit and sign 50 lousy books?
How long would that?
10 minutes?
I hate this pulling the wool over people's eyes.
I hate marketing.
Come the revolution...

The one that swings the pen around elegantly, but hardly even touches the paper....scratches the paper up whenever it does reach it

I would have my doubts about the "presigned" copies being hand-signed. It's a publishers sales gimmick and a way for people who were shut out of a book signing to walk away with something.
Here's Gregg Allman's response to his Autopen situation and fans reactions. Gregg meant well, but it backfired.

PS : so you think a guy who cannot write his own name 50 times in a row can play guitar for 1h45 for a paying audience?

Keith should have done this : ask Chcuck Leavell to sign the copies of "Life".
