Personally, I think that it's really sad that people are so disloyal to their GLO that they would stoop to selling their badges to non-members. Don't most GLO's have policies to deal with such traitorous behaviour? |
I would like to point out that the listing for the item I quoted above is WRONG. The chapter isn't Las Vegas, it is from the Reno chapter. The seller has LXA in their name, so the fact they can't even get their own chapter right, and also selling their groups badge is very tragic.
Maybe the person is perping LXA? If they were an LXA with all tese badges why not donate them for an honor badge at a chapter or send them to the Main Office? Very suspect! Either way it is tacky and fraudulent. Of course poor taste isn't an eBay violation, but incorrect item descriptions are.
Caveat emptor!
