Ebay $9 blu-ray pens: GREAT!

These are from the U.S. They are typically about 40-50mW. I don't know if he ships to Greece.

Has anyone bought one of these inthe last day or so? I tried twice last night and just a few minutes ago and keep getting this when I click confirm payment:

Sorry, you've hit a speed bump!
Please try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, report an issue to eBay support.


Of course there isn't a link to their support people to report the problem to.


Edit: Tried again later same thing. Tried it in FireFox and it went right through. Looks like Safari was blocking something.

I bought two from each of them. Packages delivered from the same exact address.

I just recieved 20 of the greens, and 5 of the blues! I have tested all of them, and 5 of the greens are keepers, with one of them outshining all the others, my guess is it's 30-50mw. Nearly all of them, save 2, were brighter than the 5mw I bought from Radioshack. The blues were perfect, with one of them standing out among the rest, with a visible beam, and a bright violet dot on the wall. I saved one of them to pot mod, and the rest I'm going to part with..

That's been pretty much what i've seen too. the greens are 1 in 4 shot of getting a decent one.

I bought 4 of these all of them work great and they shipped pretty quick too i also ordered 5 sheets GITD sticker paper. I am very happy with both of these purchases.
good find guys my lasers were shipped from LA.

I think most of those lower output 405 pens can be brought up to the same level as the higher ones with just a slight turn of the pot. Most of mine were drawing 120mA at 4 volts except for one brighter one which was 140mA. I took one of the 120mA ones and turned the pot (very slightly) to increase it's current draw to 140mA and they now both have the same beam visibility. Not sure how long they're going to last though.
