Yes there are people on ebay who sell Badges/Pins because they get them from many places and have no idea what they are nor know mean.
They are not bad people at all.
I too am a collector and mostly anything to do with LXA or TKN as I am a LXA and want to presearve history.
I have also collected Pins from the GLOs who were at my school when I founded a local and wanted them for History to be placed in the Chapter House just for that purpose. History can be forgotten so do not forget that and keep it someway before it dims.
While some buy and sell to make money, then buy them so to keep them in a vault or give to members. That is fine but do not ever degrade what you do not know about.
I have a Brother who wanted to get all of the GLO Pins and make a composite and present it to his Chapter. Would that not not look nice in a Chapter House and held in reverence? I hope he finally reaches his goal!
Not everyone is so bad to get a beloved pin, but top purchase of pins off of ebay, well, some better have deep pockets and a deep desire.
Getting upset is silly.
There are people who enjoy what We as GLO's have and enjoy the beauty of them.
