What kind of business takes a full fee upfront anyway?

Uhh, the company manages these boards for one.  You pay as soon as your books are entered into their system even though work technically won't begin for 30+ business days.

I had 2 bathrooms remodeled in 2022 for a total of 13K and didn't pay a dime up front.
I had my roof done in 2020 (including 3 skylights, and a shed re-shingle) for 8K and, again, paid in total at the end.

(shrug) 

I think each contractor functions differently.  When I remodeled my place, I was given a timeline for estimated completion and payment was divided into 4 equal parts.  Though, I have seen videos surface on reddit of people who disagree with contractors, don't pay, and the contractor basically comes and rips up all the work they did.

Hero sucks! I sent in books and cgc sent them back to hero 🤦‍♂️ then they charged me an additional $60 to ship two slabs back to me. Looks like they didn’t even touch them either. One got a 9.4 the other got a 8.0 and looks even worse than what I sent to them. I still have a FF7 that I never got back. Will check on the status with cgc but it’s probably just sitting with hero and i will probably never get it back. Dude is a thief and a pos. I hope he loses everything. If theres a class action i want in!

So you are telling me people go out and spend 10-15K on supplies on a handshake? I call BS, I dont care where you live.

Similar-ish situation: Just had my basement redone; I paid for all of the materials myself, up-front (from various different suppliers), and then the work paid to the contractors upon completion.

I don't know if that translates to comic book restoration.

As for CGC charging up-front: don't they have your CC information but don't charge until it's shipped? At least for grading; I have never done CCS.

I know there have been complaint threads in the past, but this one just keeps on giving.

I heard Uptown Girl on the radio the other day and was reminded just how much I love that song.

It's even better live.

Tickets are going to climb as he nears toward the final show of the residency for July of 2024.

You should also start a gofundme to offset the price.

The guy talking in the video is so irritating I had to turn it off, or shove my face in a plate of broken glass.

The number of people using GoFundMe to fund personal adventures is mind numbing.

No really, I was given an obscene quote of $7000 for some masonry work.

I should just start a gofundme.  Seriously...

I was just getting ready to start a GoFundMe page, for an expedition I am mounting, to find the Lost Dutchman Mine.

Youtube comic and video game "personalities" have funded trips to SDCC, game expos, etc....and people actually pay for it.

I would, quite literally, rather take my money and burn it in a trash barrel behind my house.

Some people like content creators enough to go so far as to give money.  Like people who give to YouTube/Twitch streamers.  For them, it's like "I need to support them so they make more content".  With YouTube, those people are already monetizing video plays (granted, the monetization isn't great unless you're getting like 100,000 views per video), so I find it weird when they livestream and people just "donate" $20 here and there.

In November 2022 it looks like Mike removed his name as the registered agent for the business in an updated filing. Worse, all of this could very well be moot as on 3/28/23 HR LLC filed for DISSOLUTION in Oregon (not VA) and effectively ended all outstanding contracts. Mike has known about this and chose not to disclose this information while still operating a "business".

Take all of this with a grain of salt I could be reading these documents wrong... STATE FILINGS

A $20k donation gets you a seat on the board and a 10% stake in a dissolved LLC?
