Whether or not he insured it, and at what value is irrelevant. The seller

Period.

A SNAD dispute or a cc chargeback will get the money back. It can at
least cover the loss, allowing you to continue your search for a nice one.

obligated to ship the radio back to the seller at HIS expense. There are no
winners in this situation, only ways to cut your losses.
