you don't have to sue for money at all!

You can sue for any amount of money, no matter how small. But when you sue you have to pay a filing fee. In small claims court it's usually around $50. So if it's less than that, there's no point.

I don't know if there is an established minimum. The benefits would have to outweight the costs, of course. There would be no point in spending an entire day in court to try and get twenty dollars in the end.

One Penny is the minimum amount. About the game, if it is provable that the person borrowed the game and you are taken to court, it would have to be added into the trial and damages seeked. But remember the burden of proof lies on the Plaintiff not the Defendant. They have to prove their case, you just have to defend yours. Good Luck

You could sue over that.
It'd probably annoy the judge, but you can do it. You'd probably want to go to Small Claims Court, as I doubt any lawyer would want to present that to a court.

the minimum in small claims court is one dollar - and you can also sue for injunctive relief which is no money

!500 is the max in small claims court. It just cost me 20 dolars wasting my time answering your question so maybe I should sue you.
