People will and do collect all kinds of items, that is why ebay is so big.
For those who collect GLO Pins do for many reasons. They collect for the resell. Collect for the love of lovely things. Some collect for historical value of their GLOs.
I collect LXA Badges, or things that I donate to my Chapter. I am selling LXA Badges to try to get them into the hands of other Brothers as I am needing money.
I have donated 4 Badges so far for our house auction to raise money for the chapter.
The Pins I have bought other than LXA is for the reason of collecting those who were there of the GLOs when I started the local.
I started buying just plain pins so ours would look better in comparison.
I came to the conclussion that this was not right so I purchased ones with gems and placed the others up for sale.
The Fez in question could be of historical signicance and that is why it is being bid on.
Also, many of my Badges that I have put on ebay have gone to Brothers and have offered others to them.
I am not sure why you brought this question up, but there as I said many reasons that people collect GLO items and I hope this helps to explain a little.
Yes, We all love our GLOs, and for the most part always will! I have talked several Brothers out of selling their own Badges and I am very glad. My Badge from the beginning has been placed in my will to go to the President of the Chapter and to be passed to each of the following Presidents!
So, if you have any other questions, you may PM me.
