Sounds like the buyer is a complete tool.
Who would pay for 30 games (a considerable amount of money I'm sure) without receiving all of them, and verifying they are as advertised?

Its great that he has all the sellers details, can't anything be done legally about this?
If not and I was in that situation, I would be getting my pound of flesh by another method.

Sounds fishy.  What seller trusts a guy with a fairly large purchase to give him a check?  There's no protection that the check is good, hasn't had a stop payment placed on it, etc.

Sounds like someone has sour grapes.

Jimmy2x2x has some good points also.

Is it just me, or does the guy in the pic look like he's about 3 feet tall?

Haha ya, I was thinking the same thing.  I think it's just the angle the picture was taken.
