Guy screwed me on a craigslist transaction

What happened was we did a phone trade and he gave me his Iphone which I thought was fully working. I tested it out and everything seemed good. I go home and the usb cable that plugs into the Iphone only goes in halfway and if I move the cable just a little bit it disconnects from the computer. I contacted him and he says its a small problem and he didnt think he should have ran it by me. Now he is ignoring me after I asked him to just undue the trade or pay $20-$40 so I can fix it somewhere.
Well Im kind of ticked off and dont get how someone would just do that and not try to resolve the issue. And before anyone goes and says its my fault that I didnt test the phone, no one would think to plug in a usb cable to see if it fits in the Iphone. Anyways, stupid of him he forgot to wipe his contacts and his facebook account. What would you do in my place? Let it go? Iphone warranty ran out so its coming out of my pocket.

At the end of the day you learned a good lesson off cl trades. I have seen much worse ripoffs.

I have another iphone and the cables work on it but none work on this Iphone I just received. To the other poster: I know its his contacts as he has pictures that go back almost a year so it was his personal phone.

Actually doing it at 3am would be a genius idea when everyone is asleep. Just post bunch of bullshit and piss off bunch of his mates. Man if only I was this evil.
