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.

why don't you be thankful that this is the first issue you've had from buying hundreds (which sounds like a damn lie anyway) of phones. seriously, you could've got a phone that simply quit working all together, and you'd be more screwed. you're crying over nothing really considering the minor issue. and yes it is your own fault, no one else. changing the subject to "I screwed myself on a craigslist transaction" would be much more appropriate. then you post it online admitting fault (whether you believe it or not) to a public forum, and feel bad for not listening to what everyone is telling you. learn much.

Grow up, you screwed up. Learn from it and quit
Oh yes I'm
would you feel better if we told you to go hunt him down? - yeah go do that, so we can read about it on the news. you bought something AS IS = buyer beware. you're acting like you bought a used car, didn't have a mechanic check it out, and days later the tranny went out - again that would be your fault, not the seller. get it

Or Aquaman. I hear he's between jobs just now. Bad economy & all. Throw the guy a bone already!
Did you not notice that the powers to be have already removed some of your hostile posts?
