Girls, I don't think that IHQ has the resources to pay top dollar for Badges that end up on the internet. Even if they did, I would prefer that money go to scholarships, diabetes research, leadership training, extension, etc., instead.
I think that its terrible that the Badge gets into the hands of non-members and I hate it when I see one for sale on e-bay. But legally, the Fraternity doesn't have that many options available to stop it. We're creating an artificial market by bidding on them to keep them out of non-members' hands. Leaving ebay alone for a while--or leaving matters to IHQ--may help things cool off a little bit.
This just goes to show you how important it is to fill out your Badge Disposition Form or make it very clear in your estate planning documents what you want done with your Badge once you enter Chapter Grand.
