If that is the price they are asking.
I'm off the GB I'm afraid...
This increase is just TOO DAMN MUCH

The prices arent terrible, but not what we got spoiled with in the other GB's. 700 for a 589 is 115 more than the previous 10pcs price...any idea why?

Well for one.
The 473nm prices just went beyond the Lasever and Jet Laser options .
Considering they have better looking host (As seen by a module built by JayRob for Lasever case) .
And are similarly trustworthy , if not more.
EVERYTHING went up by almost $100 USD or MORE
Call me a self-entitled prick , but they better have a good explanation for this.

Seems like supply and demand to me. They have lots of requests so they jack up prices.

Can't you try and get at least the same price as last time on the 589nm? 700 + shipping/taxes/etc is way too high for me. I'm dropping out if we can't get a better quote 
I'm kinda tempted on the 1W 532nm, but I'm not sure yet. Do you know what CNI's policies are gonna be for replacing underspecs?
i.e. 1W is the minimum power, average power or peak power?

I paid $680 for my 589, that was also after shipping and all that. Before all that they were $585.
Also, I didn't have a price on the 473 last time, these are for 80mW prices. The 50mW last time was $325 for 10. So how are you even comparing them???
Once I get prices for lower powers, I will post them.

Depending on what's the interest going to be, for the time being I'll postpone buying the 589nm and prefer the following: PGL-III-C-473-80mW/Unit USD490.00. If there's 10 people involved, indeed.
In the meantime...op:

671 huh? I might be willing to sell you mine for a good price. I just got it but I have a feeling it wont get a ton of use. Im just thinking out loud.
mine does 140mW according to bloompyle. I havent charged my batteries for an LPM test yet though.

Nah, I don't want a third III-C unfortunately I'd rather the III-A, despite lower power & battery life.
Unless it can get anodized red. Then I'd reconsider... but taking that apart for anodizing would be a big pain.

I'm able to get the module out of my 561 I made the focus nearly on par with my 473 and 520...
Back to the 671, its more of the "piecing it together" that I'm terrified of. I have nearly no skills building lasers haha

Unfortunately I will have to pull out of getting a 589nm 80mw unless you can get them at the last GB cost and we have 10 people. 700 dollars plus shipping and whatever else is just too much for my wallet. I can afford 700 when that includes everything. I will keep checking this thread to see if you have had any luck in getting a lower cost for the 589. Thank you for your effort!

This is my theory it could be completely wrong but...
Maybe they have just tad too many 532s left over from other orders. and made the 1W 532 such a good deal and the others more expensive to sway everyone to clear out their stock of 532? At least that is what I am feeling.. still kinda interested in a 500mw 532 maybe.
