445nm 9mm laser diodes and lenses

All are new, pulls from brand new equipment. 65.00 each diode, 18.00 each lens. If you want the diode with the lens on it, 75.00. These are pretty clean, used a solder sucker/iron. All are tested as sealed in bags, tested with 3v A123 attached to a Flexdrive set at 450ma. 20 available Paypal or M.O. I figured out the pic thing, thanks for helping, I was in quick mode.

$60.00 per diode $15.00 per lens $70.00 for both still glued together

Well DTR sells the same diodes with lens for 70$, so why should somebody choose you over the man who has extracted the most diodes ever? I'm not trying to offend you here, but I think you should lower your prices in order to give motive to members to buy from you! :beer:

Have a nice day and good luck with your sales,
Jim

yea...and honestly, why you would sell the diode without the lens is beyond me...you are charging more to do less work :thinking:

He is beating DTR's prices.

@ wby300
Do those prices include shipping?

Why is that? As far as I can see DTR sells them for 70$ too! :thinking:

Read wby300's post again, post #3. He's selling the bare diode for $60, DTR's price is $70, and he's selling the diode w/ lens attached for $70, DTR's price is $79.

TheDukeAnumber1, Yes these prices are shipped. To all others, I am not trying to cut into any ones market, this will be an every once in a while thing with me selling diodes. If you want a deal when I do, then here it is. I know exactly where your coming from, I see deals all the time and pass them up because they don't seem right, but I can assure you I am not here to screw anyone out of their money. I guarantee all these diodes work like they are supposed to when I ship them out, but because of the nature of this hobby I cannot flat out say I will replace any of them unless they are received DOA.

Look at this as a group buy, only no one had to come up with money in advance. My prices are down to the point where I am not making a profit anyway. I cant go much lower, I will have to just keep them.

I'm sorry and I don't mean to be rude but no one in their right mind sells something with zero profit. No one works for free and does all the extra work extracting, shipping etc.... just to break even. The one thing members here hate is a liar and although I am not calling you a liar, I will say to be up front with everyone. People don't care if you make a profit, as long as they are saving money then they could give a rats butt if you made a few bucks. However if you claim you make no profit and then down the road it comes out that you made money off people, well kiss your respect and trust goodbye. LPF has a habit of running lairs and scam artists out of town (again not calling you either but just saying to be up front with people :beer

Livinloud,

Well you don't know me and I don't care what you think! :crackup: I highly doubt people like someone who calls someone out for no reason either. I guess I am a liar, my "profit" is in the fact that I didn't have to pay $79 for the 4 diodes I am keeping from all harvested. I will be paying about $50 each for the diodes I keep instead of retail. I figured others would jump at the chance to get some for less than markup also. I really don't appreciate your attitude toward me, I realize you pretended to say you weren't calling me out, but you are posting in my thread. I have done a lot things in many different hobbies to help people out, that includes selling things at cost or taking a small hit just to help someone else get into it. I am sorry you aren't that way, but I really like to help spread the fun to as many as I can. I am not going to keep defending myself in a thread where I am trying to sell something, if you don't want to buy, DONT! I am not butt hurt either, not sure why you are.

Anyways...good luck with your sales my friend! Hope they go fast! :beer:

Jim

Obviously you add your own attitude when reading posts and that's okay, your life not mine. You also don't know a single thing about me or what I've done here or for this community. I've ran a few GBs and unlike most people here I didn't add anything to the GB price for my own good or work. I paid the exact same as everyone else. Why, because I care about this community and wanted to expand their collections. My hours of communication and planning with the manufacture were "free" to everyone else. Some people add their time and effort into GB prices but in the end NO ONE CARES, as long as they save $$$$. People just get PO'd when they find out they paid for your time and effort later. Don't believe me, go check out a bunch of the GB threads. Not going to point any out since I am done fighting with that person and so is everyone else

Did I call you out? No, I strictly gave my opinion on being up front. It is up to you to take the advice or not. Its already out that you are profiting from these and frankly as I said before, NO ONE CARES IF YOU PROFIT! All people care about is saving money and they are over Jordan so its not an attack against you. If I wasn't selling all my collection I'd buy a few myself since they are a good price.

People who get defensive quickly are normally shady people with something to hide. That's just my personal experience and I am not one to jump to conclusions about characters. Obviously you don't know me from a hole in the wall and I could care less.

Only other advice is don't jump to conclusions or judge someone for trying to help out. All you had to do was read the post again and realize that I didn't call you a cheat, liar, scam artist or anything mean. I don't judge people like that. If you think that someone who says I am not calling you a liar, is indeed calling you a liar then that is a personal problem with trusting someone word. I dont know you, you dont know me so if you judge someone for giving advice then not my issue

After this whole thing I would rather spend an extra $20 with Jordan than you since he does give back to the community for the good of the hobby, wont judge people and takes advice without freaking out

Still available

Hi whby300,

Still unclear for me. If I will buy diode and lens, how can I use it together? Any device to mount diode and fit also lens together?

Regards,
