All LLC-creation paperwork filed, and pound of flesh paid. (And I'm not convinced I'm done yet; the state can basically charge whenever they want for however much they want, like the completely unexplained $20 "expedited service fee" that attached itself to the base $500 filing fee. Man, I hate these guys.) Now I guess I just wait for a response.

I guess in the interim I could start thinking about what else I want to accomplish this month besides filling in paperwork and writing painful checks.



Andy Looney sold a single friggin Magic card for $519 [eBay link will die in a few days]. And that's just one of a bunch of cards he's been selling, one by one, for months. I can't believe I let my whole collection go four years ago for $100 or something, and it had some beauts in it. (Shivan dragon, sigh.) I guess I needed the money then, but... if I had known that I could peel 'em off one at a time just a few years later to help fund my own startup? Man. Good for Andy & Looney Labs, though.

The Mass IRS wouldn't care as you still have to pay Mass taxes.

Doing the foreign corp isn't that big of and advantage, these days there is little difference between Navada/Delaware and the rest of the country. The trickiest bit with foreign corps is that they require that you have a street address in whatever state you want to incorporate in. There are companies that will provide you with a physical presense for a fee (maybe $1000 a year).
