FEELER - 445nm diode initiating for others to do GB

I have looked through the GB a few times and noticed the frequency of GBs for the 445nm diode is dropping.

I am not a seller and i would not become a seller of the 445nm diode.

I just want to research on the interest for this diode and hope that a kind soul out there would initiate another GB for 445nm diode!

What do we need a group buy for? The cheapest diodes are going to be found in projectors, and retailers are not going to drop price to buy quantity - that's not what they do (unless we are talking hundreds of projectors). That said, a group buy would probably up the price of each diode considering shipping prices.

There was no need to open a poll.... nor is it clear or does it
make any sense.

With a little research and reading on the Forum you would
have found that the only place to get the 445nm Laser Diode
at the cheapest price is by stripping a projector...

You would have also found that searches for the LD itself were
fruitless.
Even if you did find the LD it would need to be bought in quantities
of 100K to get anywhere near the price they are presently selling
for on the Forum... Like right here....

Why? To make money? You just joined here.

We already have some great 445nm sellers.

sorry! I'm a noob here. Nope no money for me haha just have some friends who want one too I thought could get a group buy but its okay haha!

Here's a hint for all social occasions: don't volunteer other people for what you're not willing to undertake yourself.
