What
I don't appreciate are the sellers who overly inflate selling prices and/or have ghost bidders driving up the prices because they now know that members are willing to pay almost anything to retain their badges. The people who jump on the badge-selling bandwagon because they know there is plenty of money to be made on it. I know not
everyone does this but there are a few who do. Some people may consider that good business, but I guess I'm not one of them.
What I
do appreciate are those sellers who are willing to work with the organizations and buyers and can agree on a fair price that benefits everyone.
There is a recent success story posted in another Kappa forum where a member had realized that the two badges being sold in the same auction were her grandmother's sisters'. She notified our HQ who confirmed their membership, got in touch with the seller and explained the situation. They were able to reach an agreement and the badges were returned to the family.
