ettiene,
You might be interested in an older thread on this forum about the same subject (I think it was in June), if you've not already seen it.
I do keep an eye out for our badges, etc. on those auctions (so far have not found any - but we're a fairly young group, so perhaps this is why). Some of our chapter fundraiser cookbooks have shown up and I thought that was kind of neat!
Someone brought up a good point in the earlier thread: this is really not something we can get all hot and bothered with e-bay, etc. about (imho). When one becomes a GLO member, one should take on the responsibility of informing family where these materials go (back to national hdqters., the chapter, along with addresses, or to another family member who is also a member) should one pass on... I've also seen badges, paddles and other items in antique shops and flea markets so it is not as if this is a totally new thing.
Perhaps each national organization should have a small group of people with instructions to watch these auctions and what to do when they find articles for sale?
