I do see the importance in rescuing very old badges, but for newer and "average" ones? I say save your $$$ and quit giving your business to these despicable sellers. The more business we give them, the more $$$ they can spend to buy our badges.
Fortunately, the average badges have not been sold at outrageous prices. The ones I've seen or bought myself cost less than the sale price for a new badge making them rather reasonable. As for the fancier badges, the bids are getting out of control. Those are the badges that I choose to save my money on! I'm not going to give in and pay more than a badge is worth because there are a few extra gemstones on it! Maybe we should just stop buying all of the badges...even the fancy ones to stop this trend.
