go to his house in the middle of the night and take the lug nuts off of all of his wheels. before he even gets out of his driveway, his car will collapse to the ground and be impossible to jack up or tow. it will just be sitting in the street like a fat girl that fell off a bicycle.

Why would you say court is the last option? Because its not over a higher dollar item? While I would like to get my money back, I would almost love more to see the guy scared and have justice. I don't think he believes I would take him to court with my lawyer over such a thing, but I would. If I don't get any money out of it and it prevents him from scamming other people on craigslist then it would be worth it to me.

That sucks man. Coincidentally I just bought a used Xbox360 from Craigslist.org. My original Xbox360 got banned and I needed a new one. (For Modern Warfare 2).
I had the guy come over, we tested it and I can sign on and play the game and we were good.
I think your best bet is call the police first, the court.
And if that fails, go to his house and destroy him!!!

Sorry to hear this,yet another scum-bag who needs to be taught a lesson.If you take the legal and proper route I wish you well.In the meantime,just to get some early satisfaction, if this toe-rag has a car,take a walk around it with a bradawl (or similar tool),and put a hole in each sidewall.It will cost him for 4 replacement tyres!

. Did you play MW2 early?Quite Possibly...
But the funny thing is, I didn't even play online. i was playing batman, and i think my friend sent a friend request to me and Bam, banned.
So I sucked it up and got another xbox and the game and viola, back online.

Phil, I'm not quite sure the cops would really care to support your case. What you could do is:
I'm sure he has more listings on Craigslist for xboxes, so you could use one of those as proof and take him to court. Otherwise I don't see the sense in going through too much trouble for $170. I know its not a small amount, but think of the hassle you might go through. Good luck!
