Just tell him he can't have your belongings.

Not enough information to say if he's greedy or not. He may want it as it was special to his Mum and he's thinking about her mortality now she's in a home.

You're the one who looked up the price on Ebay though....

What did you say when he asked for it back?

greedy is a strange word to use here!

I would give it back. It's not worth the hassle.

OriginalSkang · 29/04/2026 15:11

Has he said why he wants it back?

I'm not sure this is greedy tbh

It’s not your cousins property so ignore

I have given it back I would never have sold it , it was a gift from auntie to me he's done a few more awful things in the past that's why I called him greedy it's not worth the hassle my auntie has dementia now and she would have been upset with him .
