Alex Miller’s Story

The most foolish thing I've ever done was trading my X-box (First generation) for Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning. At the time, X-box's weren't worth that much anymore and that particular Yugioh card was going for a price of $85 because of how rare it was. I also really needed it for my warrior deck since having such a card would grant me a huge advantage. So I packed up my X-box in a backpack and gave it to my friend for the card. I got into huge trouble the likes of which I had never seen. Even today, it's extremely traumatizing for me, it's not every day your grandmother holds a knife up to you while asking you a question like "Do you think it was still worth it?". Of course I hesitated to answer because while technically the card was worth more, I knew if I answered "yes" I would be in a world of hurt. I, of course, gave up and said "no". I learned that day that even if someone gives you something as a gift, it isn't necessarily yours to do whatever you want with. It represents generosity. So trading something like that away will leave someone feeling betrayed.
