Give up and count it as a cheap life lesson. You have no receipt, no name, no address, I'm guessing you paid in cash so no record of payment, you have nothing. You're fucked. Accept it.

All the replies suck
What you need to do is post a bunch of fake craigslist ADS with his number. His number will be flooded and he'll be annoyed to death. More fun if you try this under personals

For CL transactions, this is usually impossible. I sell most of my stuff on CL and would *NEVER* meet someone at my house or theirs. I always insist on meeting somewhere very public.
That said, buyers on CL are at a serious disadvantage. I don't buy used crap from CL (or eBay, for that matter), but if I was to entertain a CL transaction as a buyer, at the very least, record the license plate number. That way you at least have *something* in your hands should you need to take... "measures".

Actually, this reply sucks. All you're doing is motivating him to change his number, at which point the OP has ZERO chance of being able to contact him again.
Fail.
OP can't do anything.
No legal case. He paid in cash. The guy can say I never sold an XBOX wtf r u talking about? Judge will say get out and stop wasting my time.
Fighting? That's immature and you'll go to jail. Your life ruined over 300 bucks

If it's his main line then he'll be extremely hesitant to do so. But if he's a 'pro' scammer than it's just a prepaid phone and he couldn't care less.
actually theres a transaction that day i went to the bank to get money. so theres a hint but who are they gonna believe an adult or a fucking kid. but i already got a ref and everything and i can talk to the people who heard my story. so in any case yeah i can try to meet him up again but my friend or something rather than me.
I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree that fighting is "immature" in this case. It's a natural response to severe injustice. I'm not saying it's the answer anytime you're wronged, but this guy deserves an asswhooping, plain and simple. I'm not saying I advocate it or would resort to those measures if I were in the same situation, but calling it an "immature" response is... inaccurate, in my opinion.
Yes, we live in a civilized society... but there's nothing civilized about ripping someone off like that, and uncivilized actions lead to uncivilized consequences. A weak "eye for an eye" argument, perhaps... but I don't care

It's not his main line: it's a cell phone. Even if it's a prepaid phone, he's going to get as much use out of it as he can. It's inevitable that he will discard it, but I don't see how it is advantageous to motivate him to do it sooner rather than later. As long as he continues using it on CL, the OP has a shot at being able to contact him.

Why not just call him from a different phone number and arrange another meeting for a different item?
How big is the guy? Bring a couple friends and get your money.

Where do you draw the line between that and beating your girlfriend for eating too much of your ice cream cone?
You're from San Jose? where are you gonna meet him at? The ghetto mall? Eastridge? And then bring your gangstuh boys who live on Capitol Expy? I'm gonna get a laugh out of this one. How old are you?
