Any luck buying 532nm modules on eBay?

I bought a blu-ray laser and green for my friend about a year ago from darkarmyofone on here and I have been trying to get ahold of him to try and build me another green pointer but he hasn't responded to my emails, so I wanted to attempt to build one on my own.

Anyways, I bought this module on eBay:

532nm 100mW Laser Diode Module/Green Beam/Dot Test/Lab - eBay (item 260559711430 end time Oct-23-10 23:51:16 PDT)

Hoping that it would be a true 100mW module but it looks to only have the strength of a normal 5mW pointer, plus the potentiometer doesn't even work, so I'm looking to return it to the guy. Instead of buying another one, I'd like to get it from somewhere more reputable. I heard o-like was good, but will they ship to the US? Is there any other sites or eBay vendors that you guys have bought from and had good luck with?

You're lucky. He was banned for scamming people, and spotty workmanship. His lasers died within days at times, and he was using lower powered diodes in builds and saying they were high powered. It was a huge drama show. He made his own web site, and forum, and it was hammered with spam, and eventually closed. I cant believe you missed it.

I've got that exact module for that exact seller and WOW I'm running some 1.5v lithium's in mine and holy s#1T it's high powered and mega bright! I haven't got a lpm to test it but well worth the money imo.

I actually got it to work, it just needed different batteries, and some new wires soldered to it. I might buy the 200mW one from that company also. What would be the best way to wire these modules into a host? I would probably put it into a flashlight, one that can use 3.7v CR123. Is there anyone on here that might sell something of that sort?
