bad sellers

a couple months ago I ordered a coin on amazon from one of the sellers for about 14 bucks. after a month went and several e-mails to the seller that never got replied to, i cancled the order, last night on ebay I found the exact coin (same pic even) with a starting bid of $50, seller has all the same coins (same pics) as th one on amazon. If its the same seller, he's using different names.

Not sure what to do, if anything.

buy it and don't pay?

buy everything that he has, then use excuses for the delay in paying, then ignore his requests for payment.

then send him a link to his old sale.

I'd just let it go, as realistically, there's nothing to be gained, other than additional aggravation.
