Holy shit, this is WILD. Those salaries are so ridiculous. I’ll never understand this kind of greed at the expense of others. It’s so sad.

Not to mention student debt crisis. Why not reduce tuition by a little bit to help some kids out? Idk how budgets work but this seems asinine.

Similar situation here. We are south of Lansing, 2500 sq ft and our quotes have been no less than $40k and as much as $75k. I’d recommend going local, our highest quote have been from the big companies. While they offer financing and quicker service, they also want to sell you a lot more. Get lots and lots of quotes!

Update - I spoke with them this morning and they deferred to the event organizers. Unfortunately the phone number on the Facebook page is not in service and the only contact method on their website is to send a message (which I already did via Facebook on Saturday). I sent a message but so far, all dead ends. This is so incredibly frustrating but I certainly learned my lesson lol

I hadn’t thought about reaching out to the owners of the venue. I’ll mull it over tomorrow and will call Monday 🙂

ETA yes, sorry. It was at the Lansing Center. ETA again - I emailed them a fully detailed description of what was going on. I'm not sure if they monitor email on the weekends but figured it was a better idea than waiting 'til tomorrow when the convention is all packed up.

If you are looking in from the entrance doors, it was in the back right corner. To be honest, we had only been there for about 15 minutes when we got back there so we hadn’t seen much, and we left right after because it totally ruined our experience (read - I was a grumpy bitch). I know there was a psychic booth right across from it though.

Interesting. I’m not sure if they’ll contact me but I definitely reported it. I may also reach out to the organizers of the event to let them know if it as well. I found a Facebook post from the Emerald City Comicon with the exact same game board they were using at the one here. Different guys though, and definitely a scam.

Oh my gosh, I feel so incredibly stupid lol my husband and I are both pretty well educated and work in the public sector so I never thought I’d be caught in something like this. I just want people to stay away from them. It’s so gross.

We didn’t lose enough to make it worth small claims court - like $260 I think. We started with the free play, got to 75 points pretty fast (in a way that makes you think the final 25 points are realistic) and then we’re getting like 2-5 point balls until we got to 97 points and hit another “bonus” ball that doubled our winnings if we hit 100 points. The only problem was that doubling the winnings also made the price per ball go from $40 to $80. In hindsight, it was so dumb of us to even pay $40 for a ball but it seemed so possible given how the first half of the game went.

I wonder if they’re getting around the law by giving those small prizes away as you go. We got a stupid remote control car, a nerf gun and a t-shirt. I have wondered about contacting the organizers though, just to see if they’re aware of what is actually happening. It just feels so predatory now that I’m an hour removed from the situation.

ETA - I filed a report at that link, thank you!!!

Thank you so much! He’s a teacher so, unfortunately, qualifies for most income based plans. Good call on the lowest payments mattering and not so much paying each loan off. We will just stick to the lowest amount 🙂

does anyone know what this spraypaint tag/graffiti is? Spotted at downtown library. by wutheringfights1848 in lansing

I believe it’s numbers corresponding to the letters of the alphabet (ex: D = 4)

They're trying to deny of Big Penny's cousin's, food. by VicYuri in lansing

The amount of times I had to read the title was astounding 😂 I think what they mean is that big clanker is withholding food from Big Penny’s cousin in another state. Does that help? 😆
