Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

I've caught textual problems with Techhood listings a few times and emailed him, he always later corrects the listing. I've purchased from him in the past and had problems with product, but he had always made it good later. Only question I have now is whether he knowingly has errors in his English/listings, or just has problems with English. I've griped about Lazylands here a couple of times because each and every time I have purchased from them, their lasers were 25 to 50% less output power than they advertised them at.

I've given up on all of the China laser sellers with the exception of Techhood because he always makes good on any problem. That said, if I could pass a law to even the playing field with China, I would. Their mail system is very cheap for them to send things to us, and horribly expensive for us to mail bad product back which allows them to get away with a lot of bad sales.

I think Techhood is best chinese seller on ebay for laser related things. I always got reasonable feedback from him so far and I hope it continues like that.

Another thing about Techhood, I recently make couple orders from him directly via paypal, he offers me 10-30% discount on his ebay prices. Unfortunately, I do not have enough equipments to test full performance of their items.

3nm is the resolution. The accuracy would be closer to +/- 1nm. The "spike" in the graph is 3nm wide at minimum, but you can still look at the peak of this spike. Each of the pixels map to about half nm, but the resolution isn't listed as half nm because of some spillover to other pixels.


You're right. That's what I get for posting in a hurry. Thanks for the clarification.

Single mode 450nm 2x AAA pen laser for $30 shipped:
450 100 BL High Bright 5mW Blue Ray Laser Pointer Pen OSRAM PL450 Diode Built In | eBay

I bought one of these and it turned out to be legit, and I get 75mW of blue output on my meter. This whole laser comes out to just $3 more than the bare diode from DTR. :O Even if you don't like the generic host, you can always gut out the diode module with boost driver and drop it into another host.

Broken Laser Export 532nm head

Green Laser Head for Parts or Repair Laser Export Brand LCS DTL 112qt | eBay

This would be a good buy for anyone wanting to experiment with DPSS. If the insides look anything like the 355nm Laser Export head I cracked open years ago, then it will be filled with optics and tiny mounts that would be useful to the laser experimenter. These lasers must have cost a small fortune when new...

Hi all,
Just ran across this new diode, it's 515nm, 5.6mm at 10mw! It's a plt5510 sold by laserlands. Being 5.6mm instead of 3.8 mm is sweet and it's $18 shipped

V V Just copy the address bar and paste it, or will your phone not let you do that?

"Does not ship to Canada"

Damn, always wanted one of those to play around with ... that's a decent price too, assuming the insides are intact anyway.

The seller is on this forum too (TomorrowSystems), though he doesn't talk much. If you PM him, you can get a 10% LPF discount though.

Milos and others have been doing some good work with those lenses. I bought a pair with the discount too.
