PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub
PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP plz sub it.
***************************
This thread is all about Ebay(et al) listings related to lasers and equipment needed.
:na:There is NO REAL need to start another thread. Subscribe and you will have instant notice of new items listed-
This is how ebay listings are handled at other forums and it works very well as after the listing is over there is no need for old worthless threads clogging up the boards. They are a PITA if you need to read them only to find the deal is now gone.
:shhh:
To our beloved newcomers(plz do not call them noobs- that is not nice).:evil:
It is considered good manners to NEVER bid against a fellow member who has found an ebay item first and IS bidding-
if you already have seen this item and are ALREADY bidding please put that in a post.
If you are posting about an item that you are NOT bidding on you MUST put that in your post here- same with items you ARE bidding on- if we do not see that expect us to consider the item up for grabs-
You will fully understand this once your are a bidder and your bids get needlessly bumped. plz be nice..
Please note that an item showing no bids may still(if noted) be considered as 'taken' by the maker of the post- as bidding too early is not wise and they may be using a bid sniper so- if they call 'DIBBS' have a heart and some common manners and just be happy to wish them good luck.( BE NICE!!!):tinfoil:
btw PM me if you want to know some the secrets to using bid snipe to win and win cheap. I never bid ANY other way EVER and this has had wonderful success for me.

"Buyer Beware for Laser Purchases
In perusing the various laser offerings from time-to-time at the eBay Auction Site as well as the on-line or print catalogs of various surplus outfits, it very often seems that given the model or size of the laser, the claimed power output ratings are considerably higher than what may be realistic while still achieving a reasonable system lifetime, or are not possible at all. The most common error (intentional or not) is to use the CDRH safety sticker value rather than the manufacturer's or measured power output in the description of the laser. This is an upper bound - the actual capability can be anything lower! And, even if the seller states that they measured the actual output power, there's no guarantee that their laser power meter was calibrated within the last century or that they knew how to use it properly!
Here are some comments on laser power and other claims that you should be aware of before purchasing a used laser:

I will leave this last line^^^ to make you go and find whats next...teaser
.Google Sam'LaserFAQ and there are thousands of SAM hits- click ahead to page 10 and they are all still Dr.SAM . He is not much for forums and such.. olde schoole but not really old. I invited him in person . so have others.. hes on the projector forum with IIRC one post... some day maybe he will join more laser forums. hes fetired has the time and may be doing SELEM VI in Aug. again.. hope so.. a one vet told me at SELEM V... "if you dont know Sam you dont know Jack."
Heres some Samlinks from his long list of sources.. these are some of my favs and there are more good deals to be found that are NOT on EekBay..
newcomers and some that have been here but still dont know Sam need to get used to using and hearing about Sam.

At Sams resources he lists hundreds-- these are some from the list that have excellent everything.. new items and sales--bookmark & sign up for newsletters.

Sam also Sells stuff from his-"classifieds" < no fear of anything NOT the absolute honest and accurate descriptions. He admits to not keeping these pages tidy and up to date so...........
so if you email him about a listed item- you kinda need to ask first if he still has it.
He is also good to ask about a rare or high dollar item you may have found- he knows the values of most. A very generous and kind gent IMHO.
I will make a new post with more about Sam and may make or add to this OP new stuff relevent.
I would kill to see his 'stash' He also by proxy does sell on Feebay a good friend/associate out of Fl. handles all but the shipping out of items Sam has they list items from both.
For the best info and guidence spend some *Quality Time* with Sam Goldwasser phd.
