Amy, I hate to burst your bubble, but Nationals expressly discourages members from bidding on badges as it drives the price up when we bid against each other. There are chapter consultants at NHQ which keep track of badges on ebay as well. They also discourage us from emailing ebay sellers asking them to give the badges back to NHQ, as it can create possible legal problems.
Most of the badges which appear on ebay are the result of estate auctions. Family members, unless they have been told, there is an article in the will, or there is a note with the badge, famly members often do not know what to do with it and consider it another piece of jewelry.
This is why I encourage all sisters to put a not in their badge box as to what to do with it in the event of their death. There is already one with mine, just a little note, and it took me less than 5 minutes.
I know we all hate to see these badges online, but sometimes it can be beyond our control. If you have questions, please feel free to email NHQ and ask them what the policy is, or look at the SK website under Sisters Only.
