Hi there ladies...I will de-lurk for a moment.
My e-bay identity is LegallyBlonde1971 and I just won the plain gold badge that was on ebay earlier this week. I don't know if the girl that was selling it gave up her badge or what exactly her status was, but I always wanted the plain badge as well. Now, we had a break in and my undergrad badge was stolen. I had a badge pendant too, but it is gone.
I wanted a badge to wear to alum panhell and just once and a while and I always liked the plain ones too, as they look very sharp on black.
If and when I bid on another badge--probably when a crown pearl comes up, preferably with a diamond, I will let you know.
Oh...the badge with the Arc that was just auctioned. Ugh...I agree how sad.
Take care!!
