[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I think this is what's going on--OP correct me if I'm wrong.

OP is younger than her siblings and unlike them, grew up around the object, so it's sentimental to her and not to them.

Therefore, a copy is not the same to OP.  She wants the original.

She is worried that her siblings will get grabby with her and want the object just because she wants it.

She feels more entitled to the object, because she has the sentimental feelings toward it, but believes they'd get grabby either because they are grabby, or because it becomes a power situation.

She's thinking, in tort language..."Take and Pay."  That it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

All good, OP, until you don't want to pay your siblings.

The object is worth MORE than market value to you because you have sentimental value attached to it.

So if you want this thing AND want to keep your relationships intact, I vote Take and Pay.  Take, then offer MORE than 1/3.  "There was a water leak so fixed it, but in doing so I had to move Object to my house. Object is worth 20K--see valuation attached to this email-- so I'm mailing each of you a check for 8K, which is over 1/3."

How is that, OP?[/quote]

but the object is worth less than “market value” to me. this is because if I had it I couldn’t be able to sell it to whoever is willing to pay full price. there is no investment value whatsoever in it.

when I reflect upon it the object is worth at most $5000 to me. yes it has a sentimental value to me [b] but I wouldn’t pay 10 grand for, say, an old photo of my parents either[/b].[/quote]

And the hits just keep on coming...  :roll:

The OP has already said that they don't give a shit about us or insulting us, they're after one thing... your knowledge.   Even after they've insulted you they want YOUR knowledge.   Even after they've said they don't like you,  they've made it abundantly clear, that your knowledge is what they want and YOU'RE irrelevant to them (similar to their siblings, to put it in perspective).

See, I've been sitting on my back porch drinking a glass o' country time lemon-aid (something the OP probably knows nothing about) reading this cat & mouse thread, and I've been contemplating whether I should chime in or not...

Chiming. In.

To begin, from the OP's haughty, complacent dialect - they're not American.

They care nothing of others (unless they can benefit from them in some way) and even then it's done in disdaine.

Though... there are a small few who are despised more than any other -- the siblings.

It appears that the OP is attempting to steal an antiquity to which he owns 1/3 of, which would be immoral, unethical, underhanded (ie; slimy & sleazy) & illegal (will the mere site of it make our eyes bleed?).

The OP is frothing at the mouth to obtain legal ownership, but they refuse to compensate the other two [b]RIGHTFUL[/b] owners under the law (which are his siblings... just in case anyone  forgot).

This seems like a TOTAL dick move in any nationality, language, color, culture, religion and sexual preference.

I hope your parents are looking down at you and are proud of how close you and your siblings are & of the fine upstanding citizen you've become.

They say children mimic their parents, right?
Well, maybe after witnessing your cold, shrewd, selfish, ugly and YES & illegal, underdealings towards your siblings, maybe your children will take note and simply consider them as a means to an end?  Something they want to take?

Kids watch & listen to every move we make.

If I were you, I'd be very nervous about how your children will treat each other & YOU in the future.
Secrets like this don't stay hidden long, can you imagine the embarrassment & shame in their eyes when they find out? tsk. tsk. tsk.

Oh, and don't fool yourself, they'll believe your story at first while they're young children, but as the rest of the family starts to gossip, the story WILL come out & with so many family members cooperating it... your children will never believe you.  You'll be disgrsced.

There's one thing in this world that will securely hold on to your criminal acts, political embarrassments, falls from grace, etc... the internet.  As it's FOREVER.

So no matter the good you've done in this world, no matter your attempt at stomping out poverty in this world... what you are about to do to your siblings will be your friend forever, my friend. 
That wil be your legacy to your children.

Correct me if I'm wrong?
Weren't YOU the one who set these wheels in motion?
