My brother friend borrow a 20 of my video games and at the time my playstation wasn't working and I known this person during middle school and he was an okay guy at the time. My older brother is his daughter and son God Father, so I figure all right you seem trust worthy and he'll take care of my stuff since I let him borrowed my car when he needed it the most. So at this time stuff between my brother and him are getting bad and I just gotten a new playstation and I wanted some of the game back. Later on I learn he let someone else borrowed it I would had understand had he only let his friend borrowed one game and didn't ignore me when I call but he gave this friend the whole set and he tells me they are out of town and they'll get it when they get back. So a few days goes by, they say they're going to get it on a Wednesday and give to my brother when they pick him up at work. They waited until they drop my brother off to tell him they didn't get it yet but they'll get it in the morning. So on Thursday he calls my brother saying he drop off the games and said no one was home so he decided to just leave at the front door so my brother calls my house and my little brother answer the phone and he goes out and check nothing there. My little brother was home all day with my grandma so what he just said was a lied. Then he then call my older brother saying he's going to kick his *** for talking behind his wife back. The thing with the wife was some dumb excuse to justified what he did. The person he let borrowed it is his drug dealer. This leave me worrying for the worst that he might had sold it off. For the games I don't have any receipt because with how it work is once you buy it from the store they won't take it back no matter happens to it, so I don't keep the receipt. These are games I bought over the years. Do I have a case to sue him in small claim court for what he did? Would I get $1200 for it since when I bought the game it was $60 each or will it be what the games are worth use. I would had just let this go and dealt with it since he has kid and his daughter consider me her favorite uncle, but he decided to threaten my older brother and just decided to leave my stuff at the front step and after everything I did for him and his family that this was how he repays me when I never ask him for anything. My brother has this text save on his phone.

Sure, you can try small claims, but the odds of winning aren't high because you have no proof of the games, the loan, the agreement to return them, no contract, nothing. And you wouldn't get their original value even if you won. Then, even if you win, you still have to collect, and a lot of people just never pay, and you have to go to court again and again to finally get a bench warrant, and even then that doesn't always work.

I'd like to suggest appealing to his sense of fair play and not hurting you for any bad blood between him and your brother, but since he already lied about the box at the door, it might not do any good - they indeed might have been sold, tossed, given away, who knows.
Many games that were $60 sink in value pretty fast and you can buy them on eBay for about $3, so at least check into that. But you need a Paypal account. Go around to yard sales and ask around for older games.
