can't you understand when those of us from other grops are unhappy with you bidding on ours??

Of course I can, who said I couldn't? I'm unhappy when I get outbid too.
I'm a collector and my goal is to eventually have a display representing virtually every GLO (badge, pledge pin, coat of arms, history, etc.) because every one has value and I have respect for them all. I don't know anyone else who is specifically doing this, but my winning one or two badges from each org. is a drop in the bucket.
BTW, if another bidder's eBay ID suggests he/she is a member of that organization (unless it's followed by a (0) and sunglasses), I'll generally refrain from bidding. Some collectors think I'm way too considerate; you think I'm inconsiderate. You can't please everyone. So I'll be a shallow like a character on Seinfeld and carry on blissfully.
What I find interesting is that you only bid on your own badges. Doesn't that mean you're constantly competing against your own brothers?
I don't often write to a seller, because I spend alot of time searching in different ways and like finding something misidentified. This time I did. I don't need any more LCA badges unless they're special in some way, and this one wouldn't have shown up on a search for Lambda Chi Alpha.
Last, how can it be "nasty" to bid on an item on eBay? Do you think that once someone places a bid, everyone else should go home? It's an auction site. Stop worrying about it and have some fun.
