Yeah, I think people are getting hung up on perceived similarities between "used goods" and the secondary art market, in which the object such as a painting is unique. Used goods can be rare or valuable for a variety of reasons but are not the same as, say, a Frank Stella work for which his estate could/should receive a percentage on an auction sale. 

Which basically means that commercially produced and released music records are out of the game. None of these are "unique" (and even limited pressing runs usually are way more numerous than "limited" runs of authorized/official prints of works of art). Royalties were/are paid (hopefully) on the pressings of NEW records (discs) and secondhand (re)sales are outside any royalty arrangements. For good reason IMO.
