The only thing unethical here is that the names were not blurred out...
I"m guessing that these photos ended up in a Salvation army store or
Goodwill.. perhaps a relative who was at the event tossed them...
or the were thrown out and someone found them who was a collectior of
ephemera. I myself was given a whole bunch of photos of
a friend's family - of people who were deceased and my friend didn't
want to keep them..
Also note that even if the ebay handle is "a design co" doesn't mean it
is actually a "company"
THere is definitely a market for these thigns among collectors, social
historians and researchers -
here is a piece of ephemera (not a photo) that I'm selling - it came
from the friend mentioned above.. she gave me photos too.

How about sending a link to the item?

The seller is a "design" company. Not a relative. Selling many photos,
mostly snapshots, many poorly photographed, but also more formal
school photos. Subjects are from various times and of different racial and
ethnic backgrounds, including one from USSR.

What do you know about the seller? Are they perhaps a relative as well?
Might it be someone in economic distress selling family heirlooms on the
internet?
Not strange, but uncouth if the seller is not family.

A relative just sent me a link to an eBay offering of a "vintage photo"
that happens to be an image of my late cousin and his bride on the day
he graduated from the Naval Academy and also was married.
The price was modest, but I am astonished that a dealer somehow got hold
of
the photo, and that there is a market for such personal items. Also,
although the back of the photo only indicated the date and place of the
image, the listing identifies my cousin by name and (then) naval rank,
supposedly based on information from other photos.
Does anyone else find this strange?
