Get it LPMed... also at $280, price is somewhat steep. Wouldn't be out of line at all if the output is very stable, and stays in tem00 but you need independent testing for that. See if there is anyone around where you are who can test it out.

Yeah, I should have sold it while I had the chance, This thing was $400 half a year ago, and no, It has been in its box ever since, had no use out of it :/, I lowered the price due to the fact everything has dopped. If you know anyone in the UK area that can LPM, please tell me.

One thing that you should probably be aware of -

There are a few dozen other members that have recently acquired green 532s in that body style, in the 350 to 500 mW range.

Since you listed this, a lot of these have flooded the market from the $176 GB that ran a few months back, and most were overspec, hitting right around the power mark that you're advertising this laser at.

^^^Mine just hit a peak of 512mW and stabilized at ~450mW.

@Cuddly Ninja - Check out the member map, IIRC there are a few UK members on here with LPMs.

GB = British or Doller?

Actually, it might have been less than $176 (was it $146?) I can't remember.

That said, it was a group-buy price, and you can't just hop out and get that price now. Plus, with DD no longer selling lasers, it's uncertain when such a deal may pop up again. So I think you may be justified in charging a bit of a premium for your laser.

I just sold one of mine for $210 including shipping, and with the shipping done in two pieces, so that batteries could be shipped separately. So if you use that as a template, that's about $190 before shipping, from which I'd subtract another $5 for the batteries, so like $185 range for the laser itself.

That said, this was a sale where the buyer came to me and asked me if I would sell a laser I wasn't otherwise trying or planning to sell (and didn't want to sell). I might not have gotten $185 if I had just tried to list it for sale up front. I would suspect that the $175 range, plus shipping, is probably an appropriate price for both buyer and seller, when the buyer has actively listed this laser for sale. Perhaps a bit less here because this laser isn't LPM'd.

The Group Buy price came out between $140 and $150 depending on when the order was actually placed.

After that it was briefly on sale for $162 on that new site through the use of a coupon code.

I don't agree with the pricing though... the price we got in the GB was amazing, but in general, LMPed 400mW+ lasers are around $220-$250.

I think ~$250 is a fair asking price is this laser actually does ~450mW stable. Of course without an LPM test, I think it would be crazy to ask for more than a $100 for it, as it would be a complete gamble for the buyer.
