Badge Trends 2
Ok, I'm gonna start a new thead dealing with the subject starting to be discussed in the other thread so it doesn't get locked.
I'm gonna propose a scenerio and I want all you ladies and guys to answer this:
A person goes to an antique show, or walks into a pawn shop, antique shop, and see that one of the dealers is selling a pin from XYZ organization.
I wanna know what IS the right, and moral, and ethical thing to do in your eyes.
Knowing that this pin is from an organization that still exists, does the person,
A) walk on and either let someone else have it, or let it be melted down
B) buy this pin with their own money and donate it to the orgs HQ, knowing that group wouldn't pay the person back
C) buy the pin, and offer it to members of that org so that they can wear it or do with it as they see fit
Now, I know that some of you will want to say that there is an option D but I know that that option is the way of business people, like the Wilson Bros. Jewelery, or fratpin.com those are the ones who are "profiting" off of this.
There are dozens of posts in ither threads where ladies and guys want to have pins for their personal usage. I know of one or two orgs that sell old badges back to members but that is very unique and most others do not...
So, what is the right thing to do?
