If something has eye appeal and looks nice on the wall, it has some financial worth. If you paid $30 for an 'original' photo, enjoyed having it hang on the wall for a couple of years and gotten positve remarks about it from guests, you've gotten $30, maybe more, out of the photo even though it turns out to be a reprint. After all, you pay $$ for the couch, lamp, vase, rug and other furnishings in your home. Paying a few $$ for a reprint photo for your wall seems fair. If not that reprint, you'd have to put something else in the open wall space ... On the other hand if you disliked the image and bought it to flip, then you were out the $30 when you find out it's a reprint.
