This happened with Kappa too. I heard a story from our Fraternity Historian about a very old badge on Ebay. It was maybe around $300??? and the price kept going up. One of our badge rescuers, just to see what would happen, bid $2500. She was winning for a while, until that skidmarks guy that's been talked about before outbid her. He then proceeded to email her and say "ha ha, look how high you'll have to go now." As we all know, he's somewhat lacking in the manners department. Anyway, you know what they say, she who laughs last laughs loudest. She basically said "What's $3000 compared to preserving the history of a tradition more than 130 years old?" and outbid him. And she won.
