How did the parents not realize their children had a gaming console that was not their own?

I see a court case in your near future

What bothers me is that they sold the console. You just spent all night playing on it, and having the time of your life -- what reason would those children have to get rid of it?

U might be able to sue them if they don't get it back in the condition it was in, unless something is left in there house for 30 days it is still yours so they basically stole and sold it, and if it comes back damage you could sue for damage, so this is going to go one of three ways. 1) you get it back and all is fine. 2) you get it back but you never babysit for them since you don't trust them. Or 3) you don't get it back, you sue them, they fire you. And there is the off chance that they fire you and tell others not to hire you since you sue people in which case you can sue them for defaming you, (you can get a lot of money from suing someone for defaming you). If your a person who is not worried about money or is just that nice kind of person then you don't have to sue, I just wanted to let you know of the possibilities.

They owe you 10$ maybe their parents will add that to your payment

They sold it using GameStop logic. Originally worth hundreds, used, and then worth tens.

they cant legally do that. make sure the parebts get it back.

Forget the parents just reimbursing, I would make the kids pay you back out of their pocket money to teach them a lesson.

The parents should pay to replace it and those kids should be punished. What little assholes.

So technically you paid them to watch their kids
