That's a beautiful badge - I see the HQ archive is the current high bidder, I hope they win!

I questioned the decision for them to bid 24 hrs. before the auction ends, but since the bidder ID is "archivephimu" at least it might reduce the number of members bidding. I'm sure the collectors will try to snipe at the last second.

I'm hoping the archive would have a high enough bid in that no one could get in at the last min, but I'm also rooting for PhiMu!

Oh my!
$4,350.00
I'm thrilled the archives got it -- I'm sorry they had to pay that much for it.

I know! I checked in on the last 10 min of the auction and watched it go from $790 to the final bid. I was worried because some other people were beeting the bids but was thrilled when Phi Mu sweeped in and got it in the last seconds!!! Very Exciting!
Way to go ladies! I'm glad you were able to get back such an important piece of your history!

Yes, it's a shame that they had to pay for their own property at all.

I'm so very glad Phi Mu got it! What an amazing badge!
I heard that not long ago a Pi Beta Phi badge went for a pretty penny on Ebay.
I agree with AlphaFrog. It's awful that any organization would have to pay for something that belongs to them. Especially that much!
I wish there were a better way of securing the disposal of badges. I know the general policy is to have it returned to HQ or to be buried with it, but there's just too many slipping through the cracks and making it to these estate sales! *Amongst other reasons...*
I know it's just wishful thinking again, but it would be great if we could someday come up with a system to keep this from happening...or happening as often. Having badges on ebay every week is not right!
