Am I missing somewhere that proof of the damaged jar never surfaced?
That should be expected at minimum....otherwise now he's got two in tact jars he'll never sell at his asking price.

My main question for Starbuck is this:
Mike (Mcgoospot) is obviously a highly respected member in this community and a respected member at CF and most likely other cigar forums (possibly several) as well... with his reputation and history of trading, buying, and selling, why should he have had to go to the extreme of posting to the BZ here and creating a thread like this, to get this problem resolved ? Seems to me like all of this could have been avoided and the masses would not have needed to see these allegations at all...

I'm not sure of the dates, but I believe he posted this up once, said it was sold, followed by a post about a week later saying buyer backed out. Then it comes up again and is subsequently listed as sold. Didn't smell right then and certainly doesn't smell right now. Sorry this is happening to you Mike and I hope it gets resolved properly by Starbuck. Do the right thing here man....

Yeah that's how I recall it, in fact I pm'd Starbuck on both occasions with interest-he didn't respond the first time and said it was already pending on the second pm to 2nd post the week later as Ernie stated. I thought it to be on the cheap side under the assumption the jar contained 25 Siglo VI's and questioned it's authenticity on the 1st pm.....seeing how this has unfolded is maybe why I didn't get a response. Man' I would've been f*#king hot if that happened to me! I've dealt with both Mike and David on several deals....this is disappointing to say the least.

So if I read this thread correctly, you held back a refund of $500.00 with no reponses over an empy $75.00 jar. Then had to be called out via "this thread" to send the money back? ???

Okay, Starbuck. If there are details to this situation that remain to be seen, some justification for you not refunding $500 for a $75 jar, what are they?
In the meantime, I'm going to rely on Mike's response [i]since[/i] this situation has been resolved:

I will post all of the emails and PMs Monday. You can see there were no missing pieces.

Let's hope lessons were learned here. I am done on this subject. No need to beat a dead horse.
