Ok this will date me but here we go
What do you think
First of all I want to tell you that my sister is 5 years older than me. When we were younger she GAVE me her barbie dolls and I had my own and played with them all the time. Well as you get older you dont play with them any more. I leaft all of them at my parents home in my cases. My dad dyed 10 years ago and I had to take all of my stuff out of the house to my hopuse. So now ten years later I was cleaning out a closet and found all the barbie doll cases and I was looking at them and the barbies that my sister gave me were gone and also 2 of mine. My sister lives in AZ and I live in MI she moved there after my dad died. So I sent her a email yesterday and asked her if she took the barbies. She sent a email today that said Yes I took them and that was it. Now my question would you be mad or is she right by taking them. Im mad that I had to find out 10 years later and I had to ask and she never asked about them. These are the origal barbies 1959 so they are worth a lot of money. We both do not need the money but they were mine what do you think mine or hers thansk by the way the barbies could sell for $4,000 to 5,000 each there are about 15 of them.

Just let it go. It is just stuff and it doesn't really mean anything more than that. Forgive your sister for taking them. 2|2|Did you ask her for your two Barbies ?|couponshelmd|couponshel@comcast.net|12:50:27|05/27/2011|
I would think based on the brief description, that she was just confirming that she has them, in case you were wondering if they are missing. If you ask, she might just return the two that belong to you. Not sure if I am not reading your post correctly.
3|1|If you really want them, then you could always ask her to return them to you.|Arizona|vbj48@cox.net|13:09:22|05/27/2011|
Try to keep the conversation simple....just like when she responded to your e-mail.
When she gave you those Barbies, they were no longer her property. She should not have taken them.
4|1|I'm reading this as she took them, but does she still have them. She may have sold them years ago.|flapper|joyphalen@yahoo.com|13:12:09|05/27/2011|
I prefer no fee paypal, but will accept cc, stamps plus postage

If the sister no longer has them, then I would guess it is better to try and let it go.
I know I would not be happy but it wouldn't accomplish anything to create a battle about it.
Believe it or not, it is things like this that break apart families. 6|1|If you hadn't touched them in all those years to notice they were gone, then I guess there was no sentimental value. ...but the $$ value strikes me as important to you???|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|13:30:56|05/27/2011|

That's all it is is stuff...I have never seen a hearse with a uhaul trailer hooked to it....in other words, you can't take it with you 9|1|All I can say is read the posts here on gc and you'kk see Barbies and money are not worth really anything if you don't have family I agree walk away from it and if you|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|15:20:45|05/27/2011|
have a decent relationship with your sister be happy with that 10|2|Amen to that....I'd give all my Barbies and GI Joes (yes, I had both as a kid!) to have a better relationship with my sister (not that I havent tried the past 25 yrs of my adulthood)....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|15:34:32|05/27/2011|

I figure stuff you want you take with. I left stuff, some got ruined in a flood, some my little adopted sisters, 10 and 11, have taken over, broke, lost ect. If I wanted it badly enough I would have taken it with me when I moved out, 30 years ago.
Let it go.
