ETA Hope someone rescues this.

Sis, search this forum for 'tyoregon'. His daughter or daughters (?) are Alpha Phis.

Ok cool, it's all good, then :D

I was just about to post this

Ack!! How did this GORGEOUS pin get away! I hate that this guy won't tell us who it belongs to...we should at least have a chance to get it to someone who it would have more meaning for than someone else, you know?

ETA: Found another beautiful pin just after posting this...another jeweled one but the seller says whats on the back: ET 10-15-94 although you can't tell the greek letters and the seller prob. has no clue.

There have been quite a few badges come up lately. Is this a 50 yr pin?

I placed the first bid on it...hope it gets rescued by an Alpha Phi

Pins...
 

Hi All,

I just rescued 2 pins...gold with crown pearl and gold with pearls and a diamond...may try for another....They will go to good homes I promise!

AOE Maharet

I was just out beat a few days ago on one on ebay ...it was nice...it was all pearls on the "A" but someone beat me out on it and got it for a steal too. TAHNKFULLY it was not tyoregon so i feel at least half better and hope and pray it went to a sister instead of a pin collector.


laura

the sad thing is if someone bought that pledge pin you can request to buy one from Eo at $3.50 i believe and whoever got that pin( which i bid on when it was ow in price) paid a lot for it.

Re: Pins...

I have started an ebay roll call thread.Hopefully we can make sure that we aren't bidding against each other.

I added my name to the roll call

Sistermadly, here is a white gold one for ya: :)

True, but I'm sick to death of him getting everything.

So when did you move from chicago to Colorado?

Three weeks ago! :)

So how you liking it? Are you with a firm or what there? details details. I haven not seen you on here in a while

*insert unladylike swear word here*.

I'm not even going to bid - I know it'll get out of my range VERY quickly. :(

I fricking HATE being poor. I'm going to start developing pr0n sites for cash.

Hee hee, I'm unemployed because I moved out here without a job! How silly of me!

Bubbles,

Yep, you can order the white pin from EO. Just specify that you want white gold when you place your order.

I want a white gold one myself.

The plain white gold pin is about $10 more than the yellow gold...The white gold pin looks especially beautiful with all diamonds...$235 there abouts...very beautiful indeed! It taeks a bit longer to get if it isn't in-stock - they have to make it from scratch...worth the wait though.

Another pretty pin is the one my mom got when whe was initiated - yellow gold with alternating pearls and diamonds...Classic looking!

You're right - fancy pins would make a GREAT grad gift from family members...Good luck!

woohooo -- we beat tyoregon!
 

Guess who is the proud winner of the fifty year pin on ebay? Aphigal and I out bid tyoregon!

YEAH!

Woohoo! YAY Laura !:D

You GO Laura! :)

You go girls! You rock!

I want that badge someday. But Maharet and I have very pretty ones now. ;)

badge on ebay
 

Yes, Yes, we certainly do!!! ;)

AOE Always!

AND my white gold diamond pin looks great on a thin black leather cord...the leather fits snuggly enough in the pin (not piercing it, just attached like you would on a shirt...) to make it hang just right on the neckline. Really any pin could do the same on any small leather cord...Kinda a cool way to wear it...

I did wear my regional pin on a black evening bag and it looked gorgeous!!!

YEAH LAURA! i am soo proud of you two for beating him....tell me it felt good didn't it? heheheheheh


laura 2 :)

On the subject of 50-year pins. I didn't realize, til I saw it in the Quarterly that it was meant to go around the official badge.

I never knew that either, until I saw the Quarterly.

i didn't either which is pretty cool! i guess you learn something new everyday!:D

laura

I learned this at our Founders Day.We had two 50 year members presented this year with pins.They were the cutest and nicest ladies.

Another 50-year...
 

Someone rescue it!

Another pretty 50-year pin on Ebay

So far I've rescued two 50-years and four regular pins.

This is the same seller I bought from last time. I asked her to sell it to me without going through ebay and she said she would for $70. I was like, a new one is $30 and while they are important, I am not spending $150 plus on 50 year pins this week.

I encourage you not to bid right now if you are interested. Wait, keep the price low and then bid at the last minute. Tyoregon is not usually a last minute bidder, so if you wait you can usually out bid him unless he really wants a badge and he's put his max bid really high.

tyoregon's daughter has a substantially sized collection of badges. they are beautiful and someday they will revert to a phi.

i just got my 50 year pin that i won in the mail. it is very cool. it is not the same size as the current 50 year pin and i don't think there is any way a regular badge would fit inside. the woman selling the second one says that it is identical.

Just so you know the current high bidder is an Alpha Phi. She is the AMC in the NE region.

the 50 yr pin is normally $30.00? wow forget ebay i rather buy mine new. Though the point is to win it and keep it "in the family"


yeah $70 is a little extreme for what it really goes for.
