Achtung: No, I'm not "teapot dude". I'm a badge collector, so I've got a pretty good grasp on what all the letters and symbols are. And there's no "rag" - I'm not angry or upset. Just perplexed why some people continue to cast so much ire toward people who are just trying to make a living selling estate jewelry. Get angry about pins being sold on ebay if you like, but why take it out on the dealers? Calling an anonymous person a stupid loser simply because they aren't knowledgable about the details of a narrow niche of American society is unfair and actually makes you look like the narrow-minded one. I certainly don't expect the entire world to know or care what my badge looks like.
DeltAlum: Circular stereotypes. That's funny. You're right of course. I should have said "some greeks".
Alpha Gam: Agreed. A little research to get the description right would certainly attract more bidders and bring more money. I don't mind the mistakes though - you can find some great bargains that way.
You know what's funny? Have you seen the ones where the item is mislisted, and then there's note down below that says something like "thanks to a helpful ebayer who identified this pin as a Delta Zeta sorority pin and not a Triangle-Z teapot pin..."? Do you ever chuckle to yourself and wonder who these "helpful ebayers" are? And why in the world they would do this? Seems like shooting yourself in the foot to me.
