E-Bay
 
:( Another quill up for auction on e-bay...

AlphaXiGirl 07-16-2002 08:33 PM

Just an idea... when anyone sees a Quill on ebay, jot down the auction number and post it here. I know that I always go out there and try to find them to make sure that it's being rescued by a member but sometimes I can't find them with a basic search.

I haven't looked for this one yet - I hope it finds its way to a good Alpha Xi home.

I know that isn't a quill, but this is a pin...I don't know who wears but here's the ebay link anyways:

Here's an old 21-pearl one:
Item # 2121937231

And another, more recent:
Item # 2122879053

Just a thought, how do we know someone is an AXD just because their name sounds AXDish? Not that I suspect any of the current buyers, but if I was a pin collector and wanted to get a nice pin at a low price without pissing members off, I'm make my screen name sound like a sorority member's!

Well .. the current high bid on the latter one (#2122879053) is mine (I'm a 1971 initiate of Epsilon Kappa Chapter - Western Ky. Univ). And, BTW, I've refrained from bidding on the other because of the screen name.

But you have a thought ... how do you know and even if you email and ask they could certainly lie about it.

Maybe we could come up with someway to register screen names with HQ ...I know that the Delta Zeta's have an online network and they pass along the screen names.

Now that is a really great idea.

I was bidding on one pin on eBay, and one of my sisters from my chapter actually emailed me and said, "Hey, is that you?" (My first name is part of my screen name). It was pretty funny to run into her that way. But most of the time, we're not that lucky.

Very disturbing!!!
 
I just saw this on ebay:

ALUMNAE DIRECTORY

Very reassuring that 778 pages of peoples personal home addresses and phone numbers are being sold on ebay!

On another note, I ordered one of the Alpha Xi Delta Stained Glass Jewelry Box's from ebay and it is so beautiful! I am thinking of purchasing another one to give as a gift.

Well if any of you see the screen names kristi_azd and sigepchica, they are me. Just wanted to let you know to save the trouble of finding out!:)

Well the good news is that no one bid on it.

TxGirl 07-21-2002 01:41 PM

I use texasaxid when bidding on quills or A Xi D stuff. I was trying to get the first pin but it went higher than I was willing to pay. Hopefully whoever got it is an AXiD. I am now bidding on the one with the chapter guard from Xi - U of Kentucky. Don't know what I will do with the guard if I do get the pin - maybe donate it to the new chapter for the president to wear during her term.

A national directory isn't a bad idea but what a job to keep it updated! We'll just have to trust that those not Alpha Xi aren't smart enough to use a name with the letters in it!

kristiAZD 07-21-2002 10:03 PM

Actually, that guard would be for the Chi chapter, so don't send it to UK!!;)

TxGirl 07-22-2002 01:10 AM

Whoops - wasn't paying that much attention when I looked at it - what can I say it was late! Thanks for the correction.

Two more badges on ebay .....

I've bid on one #2126310715

The other is being auctioned by a rude collector and I won't deal with him/her/it. This is #2126343912. Its also listed with a very high starting value and a very very high "buy it now"

Paige

volgirl2376 07-29-2002 02:06 PM

I saw that guy too - he said he doesnt reply to people asking him to donate the badges to nationals or inquiries about badge numbers etc - and forwards anything he thinks is rude to ebay. i got the impression that when he said he wouldnt give out the numbers - it was bc he didnt want someone whos badge might have been stolen to be able to claim it....very shady - and very outrageous $$$ he is asking for (in my opinion)
