And how about if you wanted to sell your own badges, badges of your own fraternity, why must it be done on ebay, where there is no assurance that the purchaser is a member of the org....
Just doesn't make sense.
Are you the seller?

I am not the seller. I am pretty positive I know who it is, and the fact that I do, does not bother me one bit.
Secondly, I agree with you that there should be a better avenue about how to go about selling of things like these. I just hate ebay, but unfortunately this is the world we live in and no matter how much I hate ebay it is the most convenient.
I am well aware that this could go to someone who is not a brother, and the only reason it would bother me would be if someone was using it to falsify their membership in the fraternity. There are some honorable people out there that collect badges of this caliber from numerous sources. Does it bother you that someone from any of your GLO's might have a Lambda chi badge because they bought it because it was pretty or they have a collection from several GLO's? History is just that, history, and you cannot fight the fact that some people are historians and they collect items. Personally if someone from a different GLO, or just a regular individual, wants to collect a LCA badge because they recognize its brilliance and beauty I take that as a compliment.

I or anyone else could go on their website right now, and order official badges from any one of those GLO's, and they don't have to be a member of that GLO. My mother could go buy me one, and she doesn't have to prove that she or I am an Lambda Chi. Our Lambda chi badge was originally inspired by Kappa Sigma's badge in 1912. Ancient history, our founder had no nefarious intentions by owning one of these.
In a perfect world, I agree that those badges should goto a Lambda Chi. I also contend that there are motives other than greed when buying or selling these items.
