Ebay trouble....geez

Ok, I bought a T206 in vg-ex condition of Clark Griffith....would probably grade a 4-5. I bought it for $100, raw. It has been just over a month now, and card has never shown up. The seller has good feedback, and insurance wasn't offered. (I initially did send an email asking about insurance, but after a few hours just payed the thing through paypal without it to get it in the mail.) The seller has maintaned some level of communication the past couple of weeks on this matter, even said he went to the P.O. to check what happened, but he didn't get any kind of tracking number or anything. Basically, I think it's a snowballs chance in hell this card will ever show up. He offered to try to make the difficult situation right for both of us. I said I'd be happy if he'd refund half the money, $50. He said no, he's offered me the choice of one of his other older cards. A T206 Dooin, a T206 Rhodes, a 1949 Mize Leaf with a signed ball, or a 1941 Play ball, of some common player.....I have the Rhodes...should I just take the T206 Dooin and just be happy about it? The condition of none of the cards was ever mentioned either....
This is why my auction's I like to make insurance mandatory, even though I get hate messages for my shipping being too high...
