Granted "Adelta" is a typo, but this pin is three years old, NOT 103. That's a huge difference. This is not at all honest, it is blatantly misrepresenting the truth. And if this person deals in pin collecting like it appears, there is absolutely no excuse for his ignorance. It is fraudulent misrepresentation.

Funny how the LXA's who are defending this guy just overlook that he IS ripping off people by committing fraud- saying that a 3 year old badge is 103 years old. Obviously y'all either haven't read all of the thread, or you're just choosing to ignore that issue. So YES, your brother is ripping people off, he's committing fraud.

C'mon, Dani. You know it's not fraud unless there was actual knowledge that the badge was only three years old and an intent to deceive. The seller certainly should have known better, but haven't we all had enough experience to know that doesn't mean he actually did know better?

That's something I wonder about...the legalities of selling a badge that is actually owned by an organization. Can we get their auction taken down because of that?

Leslie Ann: That sucks. What about people that sell their own bages though? Even though that's probably not the majority of the sellers.

Leslie Ann is right -- there's not a thing HQs can do about it. As has been discussed on GC before, from a legal standpoint (as opposed to a moral or ethical standpoint), these policies and documents stating that the GLO "owns" the badge and the member just "leases" it aren't worth the paper they're written on. First, most such policies were only instituted in the last few decades, so they simply can't apply to members initiated before the policies were put in place. Second, such policies and "lease agreements" are essentially unenforceable.
If a member of a GLO cares about what happens to his or her badge after death, specific instructions need to be left either in funeral instructions (for burial) or a will.

Honestly it shouldnt have been impossible to figure out. If you clicked the links to his ebay, connected LXA and his grammatical errors, it was only a matter of time, but I thought the geniuses on GC would have gotten that figured out about page 1.........oh well.
