Legal action might be warranted...

If you file a claim in small claims court, likely, you will get your $200 back. It is worth checking out. If the judge suspects that what you say, regarding the two getting together to bilk honest hams, is possible or probable, your chances might be fairly good.

Because you are not a long distance away, you recourse is much more likely to succeed. Thats what small claim courts are for. In some states, the amount awarded is THREE times the claim, if awarded. So, why not go for it. Oh, yes. Small claims do NOT require you use a lawyer.
