The archives show that he probably ordered this back in June. That would have been about the time that the laser was ~$200 plus (or maybe not plus) shipping.

Not a bad profit margin, eh? (If he really found someone to pay $400 for it ;) )

Peace,

Good for him IF..

There are more stupid people out there we can ever guess. I saw an Artic sold for >$500 on ebay some time ago, but who knows if it weren´t some seller-friends bidding on this.

Anyway, I would feel bad to take somebody to the cleaners.

Hey... if one is too lazy to read up on the Arctics
shortcomings and problems then one might as well
dish out the big $$$$ to learn the hard way...

I can't see any informed LPF member paying $400.00
for a $197.99 Arctic...

I call BS on that sale...

I'll gladly apologize to the seller once I see the name
of the LPF Member that bought it...:whistle:

I dont know why this is such an issue for you guys. The market value of a product is what someone is willing to pay for it, and it appears (in this case) that there are people out there that would rather pay a premium for this product than wait 5 months to get it; i am merely offering an expedited delivery. If someone is willing to pay $65.00 for that service (The current price forom wicked lasers is $335 Shipped), how is that wrong of me? Call me a laser scalper or good ol' fashioned capatalist but given the hype and demand for the arctic, i had full intentions on waiting out the delivery and sellling it for a profit, then using the proceeds to finance my own 445 build which is most likely going to be a jayrob aurora. I have been dabbling in Lasers for quite some time and it wouldnt be a hobby for me unless i can build and sell and trade my way into better equipment, That is half the fun. As far as the sale goes, No it was not from this forum. This forum is hardly representative of the free market for this laser given the wide media exposure; I just figured i would offer it for sale here too as there may be some interest, thats all.
This is exactly why i sit on these forums and read instead of posting because everything turns into an unnecssary drama, and i am not about to sit here and have you all call me a liar and rip me for some unknown reason; Perhaps you all have nothing better to do. I did not post here to have you "decide" if i was telling the truth or not and have my integrity questioned. Maybe in the future you should all ask more questions before casting your judgements. As for the buyer, The finds were paypaled last night and he will have his arctic in hand in 3-5 days which is a hellova lot better than the 4 months i had to wait.

Somewhere your time-line is screwed up...

You say that you received funds last night and then this morning
you post that you have an offer and will wait until today for the
highest offer...

That's the problem on a Forum.... everything you post is recorded
and can be used as proof in a discrepancy...

I still call BS

BTW.... you can sell anything you want anywhere...
but to sell a WL Arctic to an informed Laser Forum is
just not going to happen at the price you want... and we
are saying so....
I'm sorry if that is not what you want to hear... but it is
the truth..

As to the drama... I don't see any drama... I see a guy trying
to profit from the Forum community where we already know
the price you are asking for the item is too high..

eBay would be better for you... there are tens of thousands
of uninformed buyers with money to waste...

I don't understand why anyone would buy an arctic from what I've read. Why not just go to the BST section here and find an even better hand built one with true power and more than 1 watt? Hell, that's exactly what I did. I did my WL research, joined this form, got more information, then ordered a kit. And soon I'll have a more powerful and more reliable and a "no lies" hand light cannon for cheaper. But, then again, I've been called smart in my day.
