Yes, there are some honest to goodness colletors out there! Yes some and well all like to buy low, sell high!
While I myself would love to have a full set of all Greek Orgs Badges and Pledge Pins to be placed in My Chapter House upon my deat, I am interested in only LXA Badges!
It depends on each Org. what the rules say about a Badge! If it is owned by the Org. then it should be retruned to the Org!
That is a written contract between each member and their respective Orgs.
If that is so, then who ever it is is holding stolen merchandise!
Some one had a charter of LXA and I e-m them saying that it was the property of the International so it was stolen property and therefore a crime punishable by law! It came off of ebay real quick!
But sometimes thisis picked up in an estate sale when there are no relatives and no one knows what to do with them!
Mine is my property, Mine is in my will as to where it is to go!
I suggest you do the same!
