Unless I missed a PR giving the exact cost figures, perhaps it's like most things made in China. How do we know that the manufacturing and delivery costs are not $25? ETIM marks it up three times to AKC. AKC marks it up double. Now, AKC is giving them to COMPLAINING customers at five bucks over their costs just to be nice. I doubt they wrote that email to everyone who pre-purchased an urn and did not complain. This is all speculation, but that is what everyone is doing. A waste of time.

ETIM is doing everything they can to get the business off the ground and headed in the right direction. It does take time. Lots of us are here because most pinks never make it off the ground, and we feel this one is legitimate and will. Every time something does not go perfect, and traders don't get to sell for a quick buck, they begin to complain and gripe and compare ETIM to other crap companies they have been able to flip and make a quick buck on over and over. ETIM is their worst nightmare. They want it to jump 50% and then fall 50% over and over. They hate it that there is a growing, building shareholder group who see the future of this company and keep accumulating and maintaining a pretty steady share price. If all the traders would just go on to the other hundreds of companies that play their games and let ETIM continue to build the business and inform the real investor/shareholders of relevant and needed information, everyone would be much happier -- the traders, the investors, and ETIM.

I just thought about the AKC customers who complain the loudest and eventually get what they want because the management of the store or whatever just wants to get rid of them. I'm sure we all know this kind of customer and cringe at their behavior. What struck me as funny is how much they are like the trader/shareholder in ETIM -- constantly complaining, making invalid comparisons, crying for unnecessary press releases to try and get their typical "bumps" to flip. And ETIM, in the beginning, through inexperience, tried to give them what they hollered for . . . but now, they are tired of playing these "pinky" games, and the traders are really getting ticked because ETIM is not accommodating them instantly, all the time.

If ETIM is what we believe -- an innovative, first-in-the-space, revolutionary, company that will eventually become huge -- things will keep getting more and more like a real company and a real stock and further and further from the pinky garbage and behavior the traders crave. I say, hooray!
