I hope you have the order in writing ...

I'm out $2000 on a "handshake" deal to order some stuff (I was young and I thought I could trust the guy. Trust is a bad idea when it comes to money.)

Seriously, you should ask for your money back. There must be a time limit. I mean, internet companies always end up cancelling your order and refunding your money if the backorder will last longer than 30 days ....
