Erm... What's the best way about doing this?

Post by Gooseberrysoda »

Years ago, I traded a rare game to my brother without knowing it was a rare game. Now that I know, I want it back. He doesn't know of its value, so I'm not sure how to ask for it back.

Right now, I'm thinking maybe asking him for this game and one other and saying I'm interested in them. Then purchasing them from him/trading him some Game Gear titles. Can anyone think of a better way to get the game back honestly?

An honest way to get it back is to tell him and trade / buy it from him with both of you negotiating at the real value.

i'm also curious about what game it was.

i'm fairly certain that if the right game were at stake, i'd just beat my brother with a large rock to get it back.

It's Kid Dracula for the game boy.

Tell him what happened. Dude is your brother, after all, he'll probably understand. If not, it might be time for that big rock.
Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

:lol: No, I'm usually an honest guy, it's just that this game used to be mine.

Well, I managed to beat it out of him. Killer instinct and Kid dracula for G&W gallery 4 and $3.50. Of course, I feel a bit guilty, so I'm going to pay him a part of my cash I get.
