GtownGirl98, your lawyer boss is right. I was saying exactly the same thing two and a half years ago. And even if the GLO really did maintain ownership through some sort of official lease (which they don’t), that agreement would not survive the death of the original owner and be binding on the heirs and assigns - the people that inherit the estate. I suppose the GLO could show up at the probate hearing and make a claim, but that would be a pretty ambitious project! And anyway, they would need some kind of a signed lease agreement – not just a page from the quarterly magazine outlining the GLO’s policy on badge ownership.
Trying to argue that GLO badges bought at flea markets and estate sales are actually stolen property is just laughable. Wishful thinking.

Yes. Because it’s not illegal. And because the people in the ebay community who find it morally offensive are in a microscopic minority. And because I don’t imagine myself in a position to dictate to my fellow capitalists what’s right and what’s wrong.
