I agree... it is frustrating to know these people make big money off of items that don't belong to them. I've "rescued" several badges off of ebay, and it tears my heart out everytime I have to write the check to some random out trying to make a few bucks. The only thing that sets my mind at ease is that the badge will not fall into the hands of a collector or other non-member.
I suspect this most recent badge up for bid is being sold by a member (or at least someone who used to be.) I tried sending her an e-mail asking her how she came across the badge and if anything on the back identified the previous owner. Her response was only that there is a number on the back too small to read. Her past auctions include used Alpha Gam items... like T-shirts. If she isn't an Alpha Gam, she must have come across a lot from a roommate, friend, relative, etc...
It's so sad to think of a sister "dumping" her Alpha Gam stuff...either on someone or on ebay.
I've been keeping my eye on it as well.
Loyally,
