I agree with that, it's not about the money per se, but the trust and respect you gave each other being betrayed.
When someone does you wrong you tend to have a different attitude towards people after that, coz you don't want to commit the same mistake again. So even if you meet someone who's really trustworthy and honest, you tend to be suspicious most of the time...too bad that for a "mere" $200, the distrust and respect went a very long way...
