Consider that if our GLOs went on a buy-back campaign that it would drive the prices of badges on eBay up and only encourage sellers and make our badges a precious commodity due to our efforts in the marketplace.
The Chi A province of SAI discussed this at length last year when I pledged and a few of us tech-savvy sisters started going on eBay and rescuing our badges. The decision was made that if individual sisters wish to rescue our badges and inform sellers of what they actually have, and the fact that our nationals considers the badges of members the property of nationals once a member has passed away or disaffiliated, individual sisters may do so. But the various chapters and certainly nationals cannot get involved and create an artifical inflation of the market for SAI badges.
I've saved a few badges myself, usually unusual ones. I saved a patronness badge from 1953, and will probably donate it to Sigma Omega's newest patronness or return it to nationals shortly.
