Default Need advice on an attempted internet purchase from VA. non cigar

Need advice from some of you experienced web traders. I found a particular Coleman stove I had been looking for on Craig’s list a couple of weeks ago. I made contact with the seller. He did not have a pp account and requested a money order. This is not uncommon. In the early days of EEbay this was a common way for a transaction to go down. I have never had any problems with sending a money order and later receiving the item. I personally would not send an item without seeing the money first. So I sent the money order after making contact and having a moderate degree of trust in the seller. In a couple of days he called and informed me he had received the money and would be sending the stove in the next day or so. I anxiously awaited my stove and after two weeks it still had not come. I called and instantly got voice mail. I have emailed a couple of times without reply. I don't yet think I have been taken, why would he call and when receiving the money if he were to take it and run. I have done a google search of his name and number and it all comes back to Fredericksburg VA.
I am still being patient giving the benefit of doubt that something has kept him from sending me the stove however any suggestions on how to contact this person or find an alternate number of family member to would be appreciated.
It is not so much the money it is the fact that I really wanted that particular model of stove to add to the rest.
