Group Buy for LPC-815 sleds is now official! Here is the original thread: http://laserpointerforums.com/f55/wts-lpc-sled-gb-feeler-53273.html#post748138
Details
These sleds contain the popular LOC (long open can) diode which is capable of 300mW of 650nm red with a good lens, with many people pushing theirs even harder. Also in this sled is a ~100mW 780nm laser diode and a bunch of nifty optics. From what I've read, the red laser diode is actually rated for 400mW pulsed and 200mW CW, but of course we can push these things.
Price
Price is $4.45 per sled, minimum order of 5. The lowest prices I can get are if I get at least 200 sleds, and that is really only because of shipping to me. For 200 sleds, I get the sleds at $3.45 each. Shipping costs a whopping $81.50 to me through DHL, so that brings the sled cost to about $3.85. Then they are gonna charge me for their paypal fees, which will probably be about $40. Sled price is now $4.05. Now paypal will charge me 30¢ + 6% per payment I get from you guys, so that brings sled price to $4.36 per sled. I'm gonna throw an extra dime in the cost to cover a small surprise of mine, because I do not want to lose money on this. So final cost is $4.45 per sled shipping, which I will figure soon.
Shipping
I can fit 10 sleds in a flat rate box, so $5.50 for up to ten sleds in the US (I'm adding 55¢ for my packing materials, small flat rate box is $4.95). I can probably fit anything more than that in a bigger box for not too much more.
International: Shipping is $7.50 for 5 sleds, $11.00 for 10 sleds. Anything more than that, contact me. These shipping costs to international should all be around the same, so I'll keep the prices constant. If they are much higher than that (which is very unlikely), I will ask you to pay for higher shipping. Again, I am not making money off this, so I can't eat extra shipping costs.
Post here if you are interested, and about how many sleds you will want. Once I see if there is enough interest, I'll post official pricing and shipping prices. Shipping will be around a few bucks to the US, and a few more to anywhere else. More sleds ordered will save shipping costs to you.
Also, to save serious hassle for me, I'm gonna put a minimum order of 5 for this group buy. I'm not making any money from this, so small orders will eat me alive in packing materials and time involved in this group buy.
These sleds come individually packaged in antistatic bags in small white boxes.
Also, once this GB is over, anybody who wants this supplier can PM me.
Now accepting payments!!! Please Pay ASAP!
Please send PayPal payment to drake <at> styropyro <dawt> com .

I will not order until EVERYBODY has paid, I really cannot afford to spot slow payers. If you are too slow, I will give up your spot to somebody else.
How much to pay?
