Do any of you lend out your games and DVDs and stuff easily?
I ask this because my uncle came over to visit my parents yesterday, and after playing the PS2 with my little cousin for a while he asked me if he could lend one of my games. He had to go so I thought I'd be nice and lend him one of my games (I have plenty), but then I remembered we were having a party soon, which usually means some more of my good relatives come over and they always enjoy playing my games. Most of the games I have are good for multiplay, so I was sort of forced to turn down the offer to my little cousin. Then he started to plead, puppy dog eyes and everything, saying he's always bored at home and only has two games. I felt sorry for the kid, and every time he conjurred up another damn good reason to borrow one of my games, I would rethink my decision.
But I finally stuck and didn't lend him any of my games. I probably would have if I saw him more often, but what with family coming over I didn't want to risk missing out on good multiplayer fun.
What would you have done?

I lend people my stuff, but only the ones I know will bring it back and in the same condition as it were.
Not lent the game either. :P
I would lend out my games too, ive thousands of them so its not as if i would miss it. Everyone is different though is you dont see this person an awful lot fair enuff. Maybe i would not lend one to someone i did not see often.
i used to lend things readily, but had a few experiences with not getting stuff back for many months, and in some cases never.
so now I'm a bit more wary about it

I don't lend games, I rent, another way of making easy money!!
You say you worry about lending games out for months at a time, i borrowed 2 cube games off my mate, and i have had them since the cube launched, i think he has forgotten :P I have also got CivII, i know i borrowed it from someone, but i dont know who... but i have had it for well over 5 years!! That just makes me sound bad doesnt it!?!?!
I don't think so, you should wait until someone says they have lent a game out and can not remember who!!
