Sorry, check this URL for Tinkerine's Printers: http://www.tinkerine.com/store/3d-printers/
They are selling 3D printers, software and materials, but the only problem is the 3D printers cost too high and only do one color. Other companies, you can buy lower price 3d printers that do 2 color.
You can check the 3d Printers and the price: http://www.tinkerine.com/3d-printers/
well distribution agreements are in the pipeline and their strategy is aimed at education as well, as in curriculum for schools. Did you speak with them or just look at price? What was included in the price? Cheapies anyone?
I just got back from "Makers Faire" in NYC. Tinkerine had a booth. My first impression (based on 10 minutes) was that they are more expensive than some of the others. Another brand "Solidoodle" 3 booths down has 3 models at $600, $800 and $1300, that all do 2 colors. The Tinkerine was $1800 and did 1 color.
I did not compare any deeper than that, so maybe Tinkerine has other features that make it worth more ? Again, just a quick look, so feel free to add more info.
Definitely! That is awesome news.
I'm holding long and strong!
Great news for $TKSTF

Yeah, it definitely isn't a scam. It just seems they're the only company that produces 3d printers meant for th everyday person and not just aimed at the big industrial complex. Thought there'd be more eyes on this. I guess in due time
You can buy 3d printers on their website. In the beginning I thought it was scam, then when I study it, then I knew it wasn't.
Wow. This company seems to he pretty legit. Yet it's getting no action.

Tinkerine Studios, Canada’s first 3D printing stock, talks to Cantech Letter

That sounds logical 3D. And as I have said to others, if you have been around awhile in the business world you realize this kind of stuff...startups, etc., can really be a young mans game because of the sheer energy, focus, drive, and stamina it takes to keep going, making calls, selling, doing deals, stress, etc. Plus, it sounds like they have some really solid oversight with this person from HP who knows how to sell also or they would not have been in that role. Overall it looks like a good risk and a ground floor deal as I said earlier. Thanks for the video also BTW. This is a speculative stock but with a ton of back breaking work I think these guys will sell the crap out of this and make us all who saw the potential here profit down the road. I am majorly into long holdings...thats my style...so I am in no hurry and like the tax structure long also.
They are passionate about their work.
That speaks volumes.
This is not some fly-by-night company trying to jump on the 3D-printing bandwagon. These guys have major credentials and major talent.
All-Star Team
Great job on the interview, btw!
You're welcome.
I was the interviewer- spent time with CFO and CEO at dinnner, and they seem like very decent guys. Eugene Suyu may be young, but he is very intelligent by the way.
They know it won't be easy- there's a lot of competion for them at this level- but I think the education initiative they're rolling out, plus having the former sales director for HP on board gives them a good shot at making it.
Right now investors in a company like this, where competition is fierce, want to see sales ramping up. I get that...and I believe that's what we will see in time. But it takes time- a quarter or two for that to show up. So those buying at these levels (and I'm a buyer here) will be happy if they're patient in my opinion.
Very impressive! Thanks for posting the video.
I just spent a few minutes on the phone with John @ Investor Relations and we will be talking more tomorrow. He is very open, and appreciates the opportunity to talk one-on-one about the company.
Because if they are not selling yet, it can go down to less than one cents. We need more buyers than sellers.
How do you know it can go
a lot lower? What kind of statement is that?
Still it can go alot lower. Let hope tomorrow will go up. Need more information about the 3d printers. Are they selling and etc.

Just yesterday their offices
weren't really offices and the company was a scam and a fraud. Both posts have since been deleted.
Quite the turnaround. Should I assume from this change of heart that share price has been bashed as low as it will go?
You are welcome :)
Very nice Nightowwl. Thank you for the DD.
Why I'm Buying 3D Printer Manufacturer Tinkerine Studios (TKSTF)
http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/11846111-3d-printing-investor/3083185-why-im-buying-3d-printer-manufacturer-tinkerine-studios-tkstf
I did my homework and I like what I see. But I will study more.
Well it sure works in your favor now
doesn't it.
IHub moderation decisions are a big mystery to me.
For the record
I applied to be a moderator of this board two days ago. Now Rosym??? who is not even a paying member and who seems to know nothing about this stock is moderating.
Nice.
If you go from thinking a stock is a scam, to really trusting it in just a few hours, then I think you need to step back, slow down, and do some homework first. Nothing to do with Tinkerine, just that you should investigate any company more carefully before deciding if it is good or bad for you to invest in.
Interesting 3D Printers they have. I thought it was scam because I got scam by Makism 3D Corp. (MDDD) Now I really trust TKSTF.
It amusing that on these message boards, anyone who is not a cheerleader is a "basher" or "short". In the rest of the U.S. it is ok to have a different opinion, ask questions, raise doubts etc, but not IHUB or Yahoo.
Even in the rest of the investing world such as Seeking Alpha, Money TV shows and the thousands of investment newsletters, blogs etc., it is fine for people to raise concerns, have contrary opinions, and be a "sell" instead of a "buy".
But not here .... nope, gotta stay cheery and say only good things about a company.
Anyway, as I said, I was considering buying this stock, but became leery after looking deeper. Not convinced there's anything wrong, just what appear TO ME as red flags and warning, based on similarities to other known penny stock scams.
Is TKSTF a real company with prospects ? Maybe. It looks better than the real junk out there. I don't know.
This is my reply to him on yahoo till he mysteriously left just to go repopulate other boards...
It is normal for a start-up to offer their employees a large sum of shares, instead of paying them wages.
Although I agree R&D is on the low side, it is very clear their main concern for this year is building a strong team and getting themselves organized.
Your statement that they have no product is false. If you go to their webpage, you will see they have 3 different 3D printers available, various bio degradable filaments, and accessories. They have also released a curriculum called Tinkerine U.
Although 3D printing has existed since the 1980's, the consumer market is just now realizing a need for it. Based on the information available it seems Tinkerine market is the education sector and prosumers.
As for the Market Cap I think its more speculative then anything, because investors are looking past their nose.
I am actually surprised that Tinkerine has a positive Net Income, most start-ups are negative in such an early stage.
Companies history suggests it was a student (CEO) attending a BC university. He was Tinkerine with 3d printers (I assume reverse engineering to improve) and soon afterwards the Litto was born followed by its other 2 predecessors. The original intent was a student wanting to experiment but in the end saw something in his creation. Hence the low cost to build the 3D printer.
The Google image is the wrong address.
As the small and short sighted sells, Fidelity Clearing Canada ULC
is buying at a bargain. Of course I could be wrong and Fidelity Clearing Canada ULC could also be a scam, perhaps homebrew can copy and paste some things about them as well.
Long story short Homebrew knows nothing about investing, his only skill I've observed so far is his ability to copy and paste, and skirt rebuttals.

Reverse Merger - The Whole Story
Reverse mergers providing innovation hungry Canadian investors with new listings
Every month we’re seeing new listings in the innovation sectors and they’re happening through a process that still isn’t very well understood, even sometimes by the business press. It’s a reverse takeover. You can usually spot one when the Twitter-verse lights up with comments like “Why is a mining company merging with a social media company!?” (or SaaS, or medical marijuana, or 3D printing, take your pick). The short answer is, “they aren’t”. What they are doing is being acquired by a “shell” company. The former business of that shell company, which might have been about nickel or uranium prospecting, is no longer viable, so the vehicle looks to acquire something that is more palatable to the market’s current tastes. The shell will then change its name to that of the new business.
This scenario has played out in the innovation sectors eight times already this year, with names like OneRoof Energy Group, Tweed Marijuana, Revive Therapeutics and Tinkerine Studios going public through vehicles with names such as LW Capital Pool Inc, White Bear Resources, and Carlaw Capital IV Inc. Tinkerine Studios became Canada’s first 3D printing pure play stock after merging with a shell company called White Bear Resources. VP and CFO Martin Burian, a former exec with brokerages Haywood and Canaccord, says the $3.1-million the company was able to raise was simplified by the decision to go public through a reverse merger.
While reverse mergers are normally typified by companies like Tinkerine that are earlier stage than those that choose formal IPOs, it doesn’t preclude them from having success. In 1997, a small company in Milton, Ontario came public through reverse takeover of a publicly listed shell, allowing it to raise a relatively meager $10 million. That company, which was known as Systems Excellence became SXC Health and then Catamaran. Today, with a market cap of nearly ten billion and annual revenue of almost $15-billion, it’s Canada’s second most valuable innovation sector stock.
Reverse mergers providing innovation hungry Canadian investors with new listings
Reverse Merger
Mistake in previous post. Reverse merger was with White Bear Resources Inc. (“WBR”)
===
On April 4, 2014, the Company and WBR completed a reverse take-over transaction through the
closing of a share exchange agreement dated February 27, 2014. Under the terms of the
agreement, WBR issued 12,000,000 common shares and 900,000 stock options for the 12,000,000
issued and outstanding shares and 900,000 outstanding stock options in the Company,
respectively. Upon closing of the reverse take-over, the Company became a wholly owned
subsidiary of WBR and the shareholders of the Company acquired control of WBR.
In connection with the closing of the reverse take-over, WBR completed a non-brokered private
placement financing, pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 12,351,000 units, at a price of
$0.25 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $3,087,750. Each unit comprises one common share and
one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each share purchase warrant exercisable into one
common share at an exercise price of $0.40 per share until October 4, 2015. In connection with the
financing, WBR paid aggregate cash finders' fees of $128,000 and issued an aggregate of 640,000
broker warrants, having the same terms and conditions as the warrants, to certain finders.
They have financials, but not listed in the usual way for US companies. You can follow links through their website.
I was initially interested in the company, but after looking at their financials, started wondering how a company can run itself & design & build 3D printers with such small $$ numbers. Just does not seem feasible.
Could be legit ... But "reverse mergers" especially with unrelated businesses such as "MPW Properties Partnership" are a red flag for me and I have more questions than answers so am sitting on the sidelines at this point.
BTW, one more thing, looking at the financials for 2013 and the negative stockholder equity of 642k. One thing an investor needs to realize is at that level one really really good contract with a large business or educational institution could wipe that out and make it positive in a very big way almost overnight. IMHO, they may be preparing with this listing in the US markets on the OTC to take advantage of some big news or financials they are going to release soon.
We know they are making new large partnerships and contracts and launching their new products through their current PRs. What makes everyone here not logically think those will eventually translate into many more dollars revenue wise then 642k? I think they were in despiration mode and the company was going down the toilet and they are just about to turn it around in a huge way based on the little tidbits we are getting here and there PR wise.
JMHO, but to me as a small investor that makes a ton of sense. That is why I am here and of course the market growth. But of course, could be wrong. Have been right on some and wrong on others. Time always tells though.
Always do lock up to avoid shorting but we can not control the Canadian side of this and they are linked into this quote also and game I would think. Not sure if you considered this. This is definately interesting having it listed in both countries like this. And totally agree on the rest of it. Do not think I have seen one so obvious though as this one for sure on the manipulation early in a listing. But it does have some potential to be a ground floor jobber IMHO here in the US.
For everyone here, also notice this company has been quoted and trading in Canada under the symbol V.TTD since 2009-2010. This is a legitimate company in Vancouver and was once at over 2 bucks a share on the Canadian Exchanges the chart says below. Do not listen to these bashers about it not existing. If this was the case why would they have bothered to list also in the US? The proof is pretty simple even though this is a new trader on the OTC and in the US it seems. Very good potential for growth here IMHO and a turn around in share price with the recent PRs and joint venture plans including the new Makerbot.
Also, the drop could even have been some Canadian investors who have been in a long time and are getting out. IMHO they will regret it. However, thats fine since I think once this gets out in the States where there is alot more money we will see some more movement up if they start to succeed. This is a bargan investment IMHO in this industry.
The 3D market is growing every day. In 2010, IMHO, it may have still been a little to early for the retail side. I honestly believe IMHO this is going to change in the next 5 years in a huge way. A 3d printer in every home and a chicken in every pot? I think this is the next generation of economic boom for the US and Canada among other things. I could be wrong and of course do your own DD. But I guess only time will tell.
Here is the chart for their listing in Canada.

These bashers couldn't be any more obvious, but they didn't do their homework. This isn't some momo play penny stock scam, this is a long-term investment in a company with real potential.
Aren't they a Canadian company ?
341 W 6th Ave,
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1L1
Here is a fact, the price was stable around .40 ish up and down a little for a very long time till all these other MMs showed up on here level 2. When I bought in there was regularly only 1 mm and now there is many more. Makes me think we are now seeing the shorters come in IMHO like many other stocks on the OTC. Could be very wrong but I really do not see any reason this should be declining like it is because there is really no negative news at this point. So, pretty simple, looks like some manipulation for what it is worth.
Plus, we have many healthcare otc stocks with negative millions in revs every year, no assets, and one or two employees who have huge market caps. So what you are saying IMHO about financials being fishy and not supporting the market cap is kind of a slight considering they had to file them with the SEC and they are a speculative stock thus on the OTC. I am guessing they are not audited at this point, but still have to be to the best of their knowledge if they are being put forward in a public company.
But in the end, what is the best part of this company? It is a real opperating company with a product that is in a high growth potential industry and they are agressive and well positioned for the future in Canada and maybe even branching out to the US eventually. If any investor is not looking long term on this one and going to play this stupid game to make a couple cents off of pushing it down with bashing or pumping, then fine, I guess this is what happens on IHUB otc stocks. It is like clockwork. This is a stock board that had no posts for months and now the price goes down and a bunch of naysayers show up almost immediately? People who actually own and hold stock here should think about this point. Smells to hi heck to me IMHO.
Is this a joke?
'How about making a product first ???'
Ditto 3D-AVAILABLE NOW
DittoPro 3D-AVAILABLE NOW
Litto Mini-AVAILABLE NOW
If you're gonna bash.
Back it up with facts.
Give it time.
Lots of competition at consumer grade level, but I think they have a good shot. I visited them in Vancouver 2 weeks ago- very impressed by management.
Nothing is going. The stock is simply sinking because of zero profits and unreasonably high valuation...
