I guess I am just confused as to why someone who was not an initiated member would want to buy a badge? I feel like it has much more value once it has meaning behind it!

Pardon the forum crash...
Badge collectors know that there's a hot market for badges/pins because of the importance of the item to organization's members. They know that the item "technically" belongs to the organization, so it's easy for them to make a quick profit.
I do see the importance in rescuing very old badges, but for newer and "average" ones? I say save your $$$ and quit giving your business to these despicable sellers. The more business we give them, the more $$$ they can spend to buy our badges.
