Depends. If it is a book signing then I don't think they should expect to be paid, simply because the expectation is that you've already paid for their book; or books, in the case of the Late Pterry who admitted that there came a point when he had to limit the number of books he signed per person which he'd sign because he was afraid that he was getting to the point were he'd do a signing and someone would start backing a transit van into the store.

If it is at a con.... Uh, I dunno. I do know I was appalled by how much William Shatner charged back in the 1990s. He was definitely milking it, but then it was The Shat and what should I expect but excess? I don't mind paying for the autograph of the less well known and more obscure folks, but I would probably skip the big stars on the size of the lines if not cost. They've got enough cash already (Daniel Craig is asking for a literal dumper truck filled with cash to do Bond one more time, and the studio is seriously considering it) and I don't have enough time to wait in line for two hours just to get a surly grunt and a scribble on paper.

On that point, why are so many of the big stars so surly when doing signings? I mean I know they can be tedious, but a lot of people do far more tedious jobs and have to be a lot more cheerful and put up with a lot more trouble for a lot less cash than #Generic Action Star Du Jour does.
