Welp. Is this a regular occurrance in BSTgaf? Other than the price, were there any other red flags?
No, this isn't a common occurrence at all. We definitely have issues every now and then, but they are usually on a much smaller scale. This is the biggest scam that I can recall in a very long time.
As for other red flags, really the only other thing that stood out was his request to pay using Google Wallet. That was the thing that almost made me not go through with it, but I still did in the end.
Anyone asking/demanding payment via methods with no recourse for the buyer (such as PP F&F) is always a red flag. It should set off the same alarm bells as when someone asks for payment via Western Union on Craigslist.
When you use a no recourse method, you are saying your payment is a gift, so while it is possible to still do a chargeback, it is much more difficult. And it can be super difficult if you didn't fund with a CC.
The biggest prior scams I can recall were selling of fraudulent keys.
There was the issue with the one seller who kept selling corp and edu Windows keys (which got revoked after 90 days or so).
And then there was the issue with sellers who sold the fraudulent Gears keys from Amazon (buy video card, get game key as part of bundle, cancel video card, sell game key) and refused to refund buyers when those keys were invalidated because the card orders had been cancelled.
As for Google Wallet, it technically has fraud protection, though the timeline for a refund is longer than PayPal, relatively speaking.

I mean, nothing you're saying is wrong here, but at the same time, 99% of my sales and purchases have been done with Paypal F&F. I don't think that requesting Paypal F&F is the red flag you're implying here. In the end, I rely on the NeoGAF feedback thread, and for better or worse, a bit of trust when trading here.
With that said, if I were to purchase a more expensive, $400+ item, I may be more inclined to request to use standard Paypal rather than F&F.

Can confirm, I will always buy from BeEatNU. If I can catch him selling something better than the Titan I got off him a while back it's a done deal.
Good to see google refunding everyone that was scammed.
I bought a used switch from a guy here through PayPal F&F. In retrospect not the smartest thing, since it was a good deal, but i generally trust people on here.While F&F could definitely be seen as a red flag, I don't think that's always the case. I sold 2 $500 phones on here and CAG and requested friends and family. Didn't want to risk a charge back. There's always an inherent risk with selling stuff online.
