Ebay Badges.

I've contacted a number of people selling badges online. Many of them said they were liquidating estate assets. I've asked a few of them if they have tried contacting headquarters of some of the organizations for which they are selling badges, and a couple of them have had bad experinces with the HQ asking to be GIVEN the badge rather than buying it back. (this has been encountered by one person on a couple occasions with the Delta Delta Delta organization, I havn't heard from others about major problems with organizations). I understand the sentiment of not wanting to buy something back like that. From what I was told by a DDD, the badge is either passed on to a daughter, or sent back to their HQ upon death. so buying back something from an estate upon someone's death that is suppost to be returned sometimes seems a little. Off.

This might have something to do with all the Badges on sale. Even more worrying than this is finding ritual books on ebay. I've seen both Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Tau Omega on ebay, selling for between 150-250 dollars.
