Why on earth, after a trade, would you feel obligated to reimburse the person?

Why on earth, after said bad trade, would you offer to give MORE than its worth? ($30 over the $20 you said earlier)

I don't believe any of this....

But wait... it doesn't make sense to make this up and make a blog post... so its likely true!

I don't believe any of this....

I once had a somewhat similar thing happen to me. A few years ago, a dude I know borrowed my paintball gun for a while, and I actually had to harass him big time in order to get it back. Like, I had to talk to his mother and explain to her that her son refuses to bring me back my paintball gun.

I didn't ask for anything, but as a compensation, he offered to give me this paintball gun, which was broken and missing parts - as an act of "good faith". Like I said, I really didn't ask for anything, it was just a good gesture. I took it, repaired it (it cost me about $100 in parts). Literally 3-ish years later, he contacts me on facebook telling me to give it back to him.

His argument was that he was only "lending" it to me. A non-functional paintball gun - why would I want to borrow that? People are dishonest.

That makes perfect sense.

The grandma asking for a higher value than what she's missing, then the guy agreeing to pay that higher value, does NOT make sense.

How this story should have gone:

1) 26yoGrandma: I want my game back or $60!
2) OP: bitchplease.jpg

People do that all the time, she's asking for the price she paid, the release price or whatever she found.

26 year old grandmother is a new generation roughly every 8 years. This blog reeks of troll.

Don't give anything back.

The law is on your side.

There is nothing they can do.

Tell them to deal with it.

Ok man, I get that. That doesn't mean the dude has to stupidly agree to the price of $30 when he knows its only worth $20.

How does this woman have any sort of leverage in this situation, and why are you agreeing to any irrational demands?

The solution is so obvious I can't believe I have to tell you.

Take embarassing pictures of yourself wearing your brother's usual atire, and sell the pictures to the young granny for $60 to use as black mail against him, and then give your brother the $60 to give to her. Print the pictures with disappearing ink that only lasts a day to tie up loose ends and your problem is solved.

I love this gif. It perfectly represents the random internet guy's expression as epicness is about to unfold in front of him.
