In a nutshell, no. Because posession is 9/10ths of the law and unless you can provide a legally binding signed document or police report stating that it's stolen, the seller has every right to sell it. It's unfortunate, but true. Instead of getting mad at sellers, what our organizations need to focus on is educating members on proper badge disposal so that in the future there will be fewer--and ideally no--badges for sale.
And to answer the other part of your post, that's because that's what he knows most about and is most interested in. He actually is a font of useful knowledge and very nice. I think he's just frustrated at the bad rep the collectors get from the majority of the posters here. That frustration comes through in his posts.
