Re: CLOSED - CHEAP 445nm diode group buy feeler.

Thanks for sorting this out guys, it will be great to see the 445 projects developing.
I got on the UK GB so will be trying to squeeze this in my new projector.

Cheers & good luck

I am ordering one of these projectors myself so I will have some diodes available for people too :)

Everyone can get one, don't worry

Unless you are using the lion's share for yourself, coordinate with EF. Maybe we can get the Group Buy off the ground sooner.

I think he already has you down for 2 in the second group.

Peace,

Yobresal, Too bad. You want more then buy your own projector, you certainly can afford it.

Jerry, I don't expect you to understand about consideration.

To the both of you, I made a suggestion that would help everyone and you guys flap your gums. Morons.

Yes I can afford to buy the whole projector but Then I would need to sell off the extra diodes I do not need. That is essentially what Dave is doing here and so I am on board with the idea and helping consume the extra diodes he will not be using. You still believe that the suggestion you made will help everyone when in fact it will not help those members who have already ordered and paid for more than one diode. It will also not help Dave who will have to print up postage for the extra 7 people or so. It will not help him with packaging either. It will help the 7 extra people or so who would have been added to the list. I take offense that you called me a moron. I have helped out countless members of this forum, with favors ranging from giving away lasers and laser related parts to building lasers free of charge. I give more than I take out of this forum. Maybe you should reconsider who you are calling a moron. NEG- REP for you on that one.

Who cares? Burn them all up if you want to.

Ever hear of a thing called the refund?

Oh no! :eek: I guess we will just have to charge for shipping no? Oh my... 24 diodes... 24 people.. what have we gotten ourselves into??

That was never in question bud

EDIT: I reconsidered about who to call a moron and here are my results: I stand by my first statement.

Take it easy crazy jay.. Luke's very good people. He's done tons for this place and myself personally over time. He shouldn't be a target of animosity just because he bought a few more diodes than you'd like.

Calm down guys. I know we are all excited because of the diodes etc, but it isn't worth fighting over

Re: CLOSED - CHEAP 445nm diode group buy feeler.

Again, as cool as these diodes are, they make more of them every single day. They're not going anywhere, they'll be around. They went from $1000+ to $500 to $50 in the span of a month or so, be patient, they'll be available and be cheaper too.

Heck, people not getting these will have more money available for other, possibly even better, diodes. Or can get one of these out of the next order. There's plenty of demand, there will be more orders, you don't have to get in on the very first one.

Is this a US only buy? I'm over in the UK I hope this is still ok?

I believe that we'll ship anywhere (Dave is more-or-less managing this round) but shipping to the UK might not be free.

^You might be better off getting in on the PL group buy if you're in Europe.
