I totally agree with that point. Much as my pin means to me, I wouldn't want to see it go to the wrong hands. However, if I were not in a GLO and, say, obtained a pin through an estate sale or something like that, I would have no idea what to do with it, other than sell it. From what I have seen, most of the people who put pins/badges on ebay have gotten them through estate sales. It doesn't have the meaning to them, and what else are they going to do? Hold on to it? No.
What I can't understand is how someone could put his or her own pin on ebay. I've seen that, too. Only once that I can think of, but still...
