My Dad & Grandfather had Businesses their whole life and I had lots of people try to get me into one but I saw the headaches 1st hand & didnt want it. plus be ready for about 10% noncollectable customer accounts receivable that  collectors take most of what you turn over to them if any so just tax write offs that your income has to cover. its like having another large family to support and deal with 247.

following the suggestion of one of the commenters, I went to the MO business filings site, and searched for the suggested names...

so it would appear that "MakerGeeks" is done, but they intend to continue under another name.
All I can say is, caveat emptor...

IIRC neaer the first of the year he hired help and was trying to get back o track. Unfortunately the accusation of being a scam site and the BBB complaints may have been to much of a hurdle  if you search the net his site does not even come up . would be a shame to see him go under.

as of August 19, 2018, I cannot recommend purchasing from Makergeeks. I've received NUMEROUS complaints of orders not fulfilled, missing parts of orders, wrong product being delivered, and horrible customer service. Until I can make contact with Makergeeks and find out what is happening, I would stay away from them and find another place to purchase your filament from.
