We've bid on a few of the really old badges and have managed to get some. We have a group of women who are usually willing to put in a bit of money to get the good ones. We then donate them to our museum. A few months ago we managed to get one that had belonged to one of the charter members of our Rho chapter.
We do have members who individually bid on ours as replacements for a badge they lost (or had stolen). But a lot of the time you can get a new one cheaper from M of D.
We've decided to focus our efforts on educating our members about what to do with their badge when they die so maybe not as many will show up on the market to begin with.
Also, like what has already been said, our badges have to be ordered from Headquarters and can't be ordered directly from M of D.
