Hello, I recently brought two 450mw - 532nm lasers (green)... (don't ask me why) from O-like. I have decided that I do not wan't two and kinda wan't the £260 I got them for back. Does anyone know how I can sell them, they are new and I know ebay and amazon do not alow anything over 5mw to be sold online so I need some advice,
Thanks.

Well. You could put up a thread in the BST (buy, sell, trade) section of the forum and hope someone is interested.
Have you power-tested them? How long ago did you get them? What do they come with (batteries, charger, glasses, etc.)?

You can try sell it here. I think in ebay or amazing it will be a bit difficult.

Well, as I've said, you can try HERE, in the Buy/Sell/Trade section.

Why not? maybe anyone want some.

Luck! ;)

True, yeh, but the case is that you should go down the price a bit, because if not, nobody want buy to you. Or you can scam someone of ebay, there are many silly people haha. But I wouldn't like that do me it. :/

Well. If you are even a few dollars less than o-like's price, and you ship it to someone in the UK (no customs problems, cheaper postage), or offer to pay for shipping, you may get most of your money that you spent on it.
Or, yeah, sell it on eBay if you can sell it fast enough. But, usually the high-powered lasers get taken down within a day or two by eBay.

You may want to find a UK member to act as middle man.
I have not seen Morgan for a while, but he would be perfect for the job.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but this is pretty much the exact thread title I was just about to start... What are the laws in the UK about sipping iiib lasers within the UK it's self? I'm in need of money, and with the way things are in this country at the minute I can't really get enjoyment out of my high power laser. I'm thinking of putting it up in the BST, but I don't want to ship illegally, if it is now illegal in the UK (I don't think it is) as it's not good trade practice to have an unreliable service between me and the potential buyer. If I do end up selling it would be to UK buyers only as, again, I don't want to have an unreliable service between me and the buyer where breaking the law is involved.

I got it in fine through customs a few days ago, O-like said there is no laws on at the moment for imports and I suspect that internal shippment has even less of a risk,
and wouldent I have to damage it to get a refund?
