1904 (??) ADPi badge on eBay
<crash>
Sigh.
Another badge on eBay, this one with the date 11/06/04. Since the description says it was purchased through an estate, I will assume that is 1904 and not 2004...but I will let you ladies decide, as I would not be able to tell. I just thought you might want to know, since this is potentially over 100 years old.

There is only one bid so far.

Thank you for visiting, Blondie93 - you're welcome to crash at any time (if you play nice!). I've PM'd the dealer before, and asked her to specify that the pin she has is from 2004, not 1904. Unfortunately, she hasn't.
But we all appreciate your generosity in sharing your information! I hope we can return the favor some time.

Thanks honeychile.
Very sad that a badge from just *four* years ago is already being sold.

HC - I wonder if you can report the listing to ebay for false representation?
The seller is obviously trying to get more money for it by saying it's "vintage" and from an estate.

I decided to do a little sleuthing via the ADPi Member Search... I found the member's name. I wonder why her pin is for sale...

Wow! I didn't think about that. Would it be creepy to send her an email or something (although mail would probably take too long) like that to let her know?
I would sure like to know if my pin was EVER up for sale because it would not be consensual!

I also think I found her on Facebook... I was going to send her a message, but I don't want to creep her out.

*crash*
You should definitely contact the member and cc the appropriate person at your HQ. If it was stolen and a police report was filed eBay will pull the sale.

I was going to say that it's definately a 2004 pin because I "saved" a pin from Ebay about two years ago from 1915 and at that point they were putting the entire year on the pins.
Can the seller be reported for possible theft? It sounds a bit fishy that the seller is claiming it is a "vintage" pin and that it came from an "estate".

Besides, in 1904, we were still the Adelphean Society. From 1905-1913 (?), we were Alpha Delta Phi. In fact, we were admitted to the NPC as ADF. I hadn't realized that it was that long - I'd practically kill for an Alpha Delta Phi pin!
