I'm glad we all agree on this issue. It is so hard to see badges on ebay but like all jewels- they get stolen, lost, sold at estate sales, etc.
I just look at the positive that our badges are so popular and go for the most money ($75.00 - $100.00) that it shows
A. our alums are out there [and have the money to do this] buying the badges back - we really have a very caring alum support to do this.
and
B. The ebay jugheads have realized the power of a Chi Omega badge and I think they keep buying them up and re-selling them - trying to make a profit.
Just remember if you buy a badge off ebay- make sure it is real. I'm sure an expert jewel maker can reproduce a badge. I saw one badge yesterday that only had 3 initials on it. No # or year, etc. That made me wonder if it was a real badge????? That could be a next step- make fake ones for $20.00 and sell them for $80.00 on ebay. Be careful
