Thanks for the info Buckeye.  
I was very understanding and sympathetic to his situation.  Like you, I offered him a very easy way out.  I gave extra time and even extra money just to help him get through the problem so I could get the product I had already paid for. His responses were nothing but delay tactics.  He refuses to even communicate anymore.  He owes me quite a chunk of money.  
I may get my wish after all.
