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

Re: Erm... What's the best way about doing this?
i'm also curious about what game it was.What game?
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.

Tell him what happened. Dude is your brother, after all, he'll probably understand. If not, it might be time for that big rock.Gooseberrysoda wrote: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.

Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

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.
