Now if you don't get this thats OK and I wont say that you are wrong. Who am I to judge anyone and say that they are wrong?
Things are the way they are and we learn from them. Peace of mind is very precious and revenge is for some one much bigger and powerful than any of us.
I will now back off and let be what will be and wish all luck with what ever they do or think about doing.
For me when I buy here I know I am taking a chance that it might go wrong and am willing to accept that.
To accept a wrong is the start of piece of mind and to get even is the start of turmoil.

First of all, there usually is a wrong and a right. Say your entire family was murdered, all your possessions were stolen, and you were left severely crippled. Would you just shrug it off like you are now for the sake of peace of mind? At the very most simple level, this is wrong because it fosters the spread of this type of behavior and encourages those who do this type of behavior to do it more. Community involvement definately can produce changes, not only to gain back money lost by those currently, but future people. As already said, I would hold you partially responsible for what is going on right now. If you had written some negative feedback, people might have had a clue before now.
Now besides just the spread of this and future cases, it's not right to let this go unpunished. He took something that isn't his; it should be returned to the rightful owner. Even if the owner thinks the loss is insignificant, it's worth fighting for the above reasons, or at least it's worth posting feedback. To me, a $200 loss would definately be worth calling the police over. A good starting point would be to get the boss involved. I guarantee if I were a scammer and someone called my boss and got him to threaten firing me, I would hand the money over in a flash. Or give him an ultimatum: Give me my money or I'll call the cops and (if you want) your boss. Seems like a fairly straightfoward way to get quick results.
So be it for personal reasons or in the interest of the rest of the community, awareness has to be increased, and pressure needs to be put on these criminals to rectify their misdeeds. State of mind is what the name implies, a state of MIND. This is something that is completely dependant on you. It only bothers you if you let it. Dealing with it or not dealing with it will bother someone more or less depending on the person, but really it's all dependant on the person, and with the right attitude, neither should bother you. Frankly, though, I'd be more disposed towards being uneasy about letting someone go like that. I have a strong sense of justice, and allowing a crime to go like that makes me uneasy. You mentioned that this was revenge, but this isn't the kind of punishment that is just out of revenge, where nothing is auctually rectified! This is a crime that can be reversed via the return of money or said product. I understand how killing another person for killing another person may be (in some peoples' minds) a stupid thing to do out of revenge, as it really fixes nothing (though, then again, it discourages future criminals), but this does rectify something, so in all respects I consider it the right thing to do.
Wow er well my 4 cents or so.
