If I'm understanding correctly the main issue is with the Red Drive breaking. It was a used product that worked when you received it then broke after a period of time. That's not a scam, it's bad luck & the seller isn't responsible for something like that in my opinion.

I'm not sure there's an awful lot you can do. You bought used gear, it worked when it arrived, and later broke. I can't see how that's the seller's fault - since it was working when he sent it to you.
However, you're certainly due a refund for any items that you paid for but never received.

You should of kept the cf cards and got rid of the 1 drive. The last thing you want is to be depended on 1 drive for the whole day of shooting and then your drive fails. Also when downloading drive. You need to power it, not let the FireWire cable power it.

Sorry, I am a little confused about your concern... you bought a camera off of him, and whist it was in your possession the drive failed to operate when it originally had. Much as the battery did.
I don't think this is so much fraud, but a badly maintained kit that you got the raw end of the deal of. That happens. Additionally, you should certainly seek compensation for the items never received.
Do you have a written contract with an exchange of ID? If so, you can pursue this in court, but for a hundred bucks it hardly seems worth it.
Best of luck.

Frankly, I'm not surprised that he's ignoring you. You had the camera for 3 months and now you have buyer's remorse. Red drives are notoriously unreliable, they do fail but if it failed after you bought it, that's not the seller's concern. It's a used camera. If it worked in the first week after you bought it, then it's not a scam.
You sold your working red drive to get a battery and a 16gb cf card and you are blaming the seller for you not being able to record long enough? I really don't get your complaint.
