So far, there are 5-6 of us who buy our Badges off of the sites.
I have bought 7 and will eventually donate to my Chapter or sell at a good price to Brothers who have lost or given to a member of their family and lost them!
If we have several bidding and i alway check to see if they are Brothers, we will back off of bidding so as to not get to high!
I backed off of one from Rose-Huleman as had checked with him and he was roomate with one of the Brothers that I have talked with. As it turned out since it was one of their Brothers and an Alum, they found him and sold it back to him! He was estatic to have it found as had been stolen!
So there is always a way without getting the bid to outrages. You can check and send e-m to bidders on ebay and if they do not get back to you, then they probably are not a Brother or Sister!!
