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

Got my fiber coupled "B&W tek" 532 in today. the head is made by CNI, hence the quotes. it was like 1-2mW when i turned it on first, so i cut the photodiode off, and boom- around 200mW now. I need to add a lens to the front though, the output isn't collimated very well. But for 100$, I ain't complaining! If you have some spare money, I highly suggest snagging on of these while the deal is still there.

That's an OPSL box. Pretty neat. Bet it gets crazy hot inside though. That should be bolted to a heatsink/OT for extended use. And NEVER opened

"Dunno where the 532nm is from but 500 for 70 is not a bad ratio"

Its just the crystals. Its not a complete 532nm laser.

Some good deals and some dirty selling methods--

NEVER assume a listing where you THINK you are going to get three (RG &V) pointers for very little- they do all they can to make you think you will get three when in fact the listing is for ONE only-

BUT.. when you can REALLY buy three pointers for around 9 $usd thats crazy cheap-- even if one out of three is DOA or does not last long--


**************************************


Wow

hkpowerstore ( 267979Red shooting star icon for feedback score in between 100,000 to 499,999) About member eBay Store

in 30 days they got 622 neg FBs how does Greedbay allow this to go on?

see how they placed 'free ship' over 3 PCs--

pretty sure for that price you get JUST 0ne and are lucky if it arrives in less than 30 day if at all



I may take a bullet 'for the team' on this listing= as they (or IT ) takes a single 18650 batt=
so worst case you get a fair host to use for a re-build-

asking seller (new to greedbay) if I will get three lasers or just one--
If its three for only $10.80 its worth the risk IMO

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Military-Hi...Domain_2&var=550380021649&hash=item3a8ce3d5b4

^^^ OK its at the very bottom and fine print- its one laser ONLY at that price- to get matching RG &V you need to spend >$33 usd still pretty cheap for all you get and when it does die you have hopefully a usable host left--

No feedback yet on any of these sold by THIS member- so it is still a risk---

found the truth at the bottom--

"Package included:

Green Laser Pointer x 1 Or Violet Purple Blue x 1 Or RED x 1"

(the 'Ors' are in red) so they are hoping an impulse buyer will miss that-- why else would they list like they do --report them to Greedbay. I say!!


These listings are intentionally) misleading-- the seller seems to be trying to make buyers mistakenly buy thinking they are getting all three colors of pointerpens- If they are selling just one then WHY the '# pcs' in the listing photos- - Ebay needs to put a stop to this..

3 Color 5mW Red Green Purple Ray Laser Pointer Pen Powerful Beam Light He | eBay

3 Color 5mW Red Green Purple Ray Laser Pointer Pen Powerful Beam Light HMY | eBay

WHOA!! Now I see why these are so cheap- they do not send ANY (1pc OR 3PCS!!)-- check the neg FB- terrible seller is putting it mildly- NEVER buy or bid w/o reading the FB Greedbay is not doing a very good job IMO

918 negs in only 12 months!

I thought 12$ for all 3 w/ free ship was about as low as one could find-- BUT there is a glut of these already made and the wholesalers are in a price war- no telling how low they will go to just clear their inventory-

000000000000000

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
wtf ftw

fREE SHIP but $100 FOR THREE PENS???

SEZ 8 sold?? what kind of idiot buys these at THAT price??

3pcs Laser Pointer Green Blue Violet Red Combo Pen Beam 5mW Fast Free US SHIP | eBay

This is WHAT I think-- they maKE A LSITING LIKE THIS ONE SOLEY TO MAKE YOU THINK THE OTHERS ARE BARGAIN PRICED - I do not believe for one minute that anyone has paid this much-- report them to GreedBay!!



time to get around to that simple project you have been wanting to make.
Got kiddos interested in your lasers-- these would make a great father/son(etc) project-& the very best time for that very important beginning safety lesson.

These would be easy to use for making 3 color:
Spiro
Lumia
Tunnel or Liq. Sky EFXs
or a 3 color handheld--

I suggest you order more then a single set as it is not rare that one may arrive DOA or fail soon.. VERY important that you run (duty)these for LESS than three minutes before allowing an equal time of rest.
One 'guide ' you may use is the length of a typical song.

here you can just go ahead and buy all three--

*********************************


Free SHIP LED R G Laser Disco DJ Stage Lights Party Pattern Lighting Projector | eBay

These typically have a 30mW 532 and a 80mW 650 inside- I just bid $2 on the one above
They are interesting little moving grating PJs--- but boring after a while- I now buy them ONLY when they are below 20$- JUST to mainly get the R & G to re-use in a LUMIA PJ or SPIRO - but there are many other leftover parts with uses..

FYI The easy way to win this type of auction that requires very little on my part by sniping many at the same time- most will go above 20$ at the end- BUT sometime one slips by the crowd of Greedbayers and goes for much less. -- The one i use is totally free for the first 3 'snipes' and only 1% after that for ones they win for you- PM me P L E A S E- for link- as they also give me 3 freebies when you sign -up.--

If you are going to try this let us know at this Ebay Thread- so hopefully no member will not bid against you.---

Could be. I know they often run the argon lasers near idle to enhance lifetime... so the hour meter may mean nothing. A quick question to the seller as to where he/she got it from would be useful :beer:

Most likely a DNA sequencer.
