I have no clue as to how that would make a difference?
My Badge # 13014. Anyone want it I'd let it go for $5,000, LOL.

My old SASS badge number is 11412.
You Sir, may have it at no cost to you, if you feel you can use it to your advantage.
I don't use it any longer.
My best,

WOW that's reeel kind of ya pard but I aint after a lower # I`m 45422 and quite happy with that. Like I mentioned, I thought I had read that some SASS badges were being flogged to pards who wanted a lower # `spose it would make `em seem more important in some way ore another.

Yeah, it's often amazing what people consider important to their lives.

How true!
Twenty six years ago I got the license plate number HAWGG for my Harley for nothing except the extra $25.00 personalized plate fee. Don't exactly know how true this is but a few years later I read that someone paid $2500 for the rights to the license plate number HOG

I'm perfectly happy with SASS #70670

I always thought the higher the number, the more important.  SASS 88462, don't see what difference a number makes.  Guess,they could try to pass themselves off as being in SASS longer???  Usually late to everything, but dinner.

Going back maybe ten years (), there was a period of time during which you could get an older 4-digit number by signing up as a life member.  I guess that lasted until they ran out of those saved-up numbers.

I've seen SASS badges for sale on ebay.  I was under the impression those had belonged to folks who had left the sport or deceased and were probably being bought by badge collectors rather than folks who wanted a lower number on their chest.  But I guess there could be some of the latter, too.

Ya know, they recently passed #100,000.  I always thought they'd save that one to present to the next conservative president, but that particular badge number is going to be auctioned off by SASS.

I just signed up, my badge number is 99920.  If I had started when I wanted to (1990) I wonder what my badge number would have been.

[Winston Dawg]

Well I would not see or change my number for anything! I  traded my Mama a while back for her number then I trade it off for a much higher number.Yep a higher number. My number old number  started with 379xx now it  is  73199! I will keep this one forever, and Mama says she will keep MY number forever!  hugs and kisses Winston Dawg #73199

I suppose if someone wanted it badly enough, I'd seel my #896 for, say $29,999, plus a dollar shipping!

I let my SASS membership expire a while back but still have my old badge.  Can I sign up for a membership using my old badge/# or do I have to start up with a new #?

I only have my experience to go by... I first joined SASS in the early 90's  had number # 6915 .....I got away for a while reenacting , I let my membership lapse for a few years.
I went to pay up again in 2000...and could not get the system to accept my Alias " That Alias was not available " or "taken" or some such...
I didn't bother to pursue it I just altered my Alias, paid and rejoined, and got a new number.
# 26799 .... never really put any store in the number 
I have both badges ...

Howdy Capt.,

You keep you member number. You may need to adjust you alias. Give the SASS office a call and they will set you up.

[Laughing Buffalo]

If you were buying a lower number to somehow look more important at SASS events, wouldn't you be using, aka stealing an identity???  It's wrong.  Just wrong.    The number represents a certain person's membership.  If it ain't you, you shouldn't be pretending to be him/her.  There ought to be a rule for misrepresenting IMHO.
