Bad Trader Reports

On OCTOBER 4TH we agreed on a trade for Bad Dudes (NES) and Willow (also NES) for Faces of Death. I sent out first, even though it was to a P.O. Box. Well, here I am two months later and NOTHING. He claimed that he didn't agree to FoD because he didn't have it, and that he'd send Dawn of the Dead instead. I can BUY DotD for $4. That's less than it would cost to *SHIP*.
Two weeks or so ago, he emails me with:
hey is there a reason you havnt completed our trade yet?i meant to ask last time i was online but i totally blanked,even if you've stopped using gametz id still appreciate it if youd complete seems i still use it fairly often,thx
To which I replied with:
Gee... could it possibly be because you haven't sent me *ANYTHING*?
He then claimed that he sent me money... the $5 that I felt would be fair. It covered my shipping costs and that's all that really mattered, I guess. Well, if he sent me money all that time ago, where is it? I'm tired or waiting. I feel I gave him a *LOT* of slack here.
(Yes, I know the games are 90% worthless, but it's the principal!)
UPDATE!!! After 90 days, the trade was deleted by the system. I still have not gotten anything, though he insists that he did send... or, rather, had someone else send. I'll take this down when/if I get anything. Otherwise, it's staying up.
Update again!!! I'm gonna keep updating this, making it larger and larger until I get something. It's February 4th now, and nothing. No corrospondance either way. I'm usually patient, but this is a little silly, isn't it? Geez. Rip someone off over something good, for cryin' out loud! Not two (admittedly bad) NES games!
