Hey Lawlgen: check out the sticky post "Buying your first green laser". The first post lists Focalprice as one of the cheapo sellers ( not necessarily bad if you want inexpensive like me), but whose products vary in quality. It seems that the three best in this category are olike, rayfoss and ledshoppe handsdown. I'd stick with them if I were you. I just got a great 50 mW green pen for 24 bucks and they shipped into the US no problem. It works great.
Best of luck in your pursuits

I personally wouldn't go with focalprice. O-like and rayfoss have better quality control and guarantees, and since their prices are only marginally higher they win my vote :D

Both lasers I have purchased from focalprice were underspec and died within a month of receiving them.
I definitely would not purchase a laser from them again, but they have great prices on other Chinese junk (LED products, lighters, small electronics, etc..).

One of my best 532nm Newwish pointers came from FP.
100mW advertised, peaks at 102-107, 85mW average. Very good divergence and TEM (no scatter)
But, and this is a big but, I got lucky! Maybe 1 in 100 is this good, some are crap. So It's a gamble.
But it is only $52.
If you get 100mW's out of it and it lasts, you got a good deal.
