I'm down, as long as the price is in the $300-$350 range.

the 1W is 350 already, the idea is to bring it down a bit lol

i'd like to see a dragon lasers buy for their 1W, if you can actually bring down prices by buying in bulk from the distributor

could be a good idea to wait till o-likes one comes out before deciding.

It could be a long time yet.
Also, CNI is much better quality, even if a few bad units get through to customers, the "good" ones are usually really good.
Aside from performance, CNI's lasers are built solid. I'd choose CNI over O-like any day.

Yes. I'm waiting for further information from Susie on the o-Like 445; but the quote the person from the WL forums has - they blocked out the name of Ava Zheng, which tells me that this is probably a legit quote.

I still think Glenn could do better, but he's been quiet about CNI lately; not sure if they're giving him the runaround.

Well i got a quote!

Dear Uranium,
Thanks for your letter, if you will buy 20pcs together, the unit price is USD305.00
The price excludes freight charge.
Please let me know your opinion on the laser.

Please contact me without any hesitation if you need any help.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards;
xxx

Shipping will likely be based on how many orders can happen, and what the total shipping for the bulk order is. So it'd depend on how many people were interested, probably.

$305? not bad, I'm down for a GB. Would they be able to toss a 300mW in the same buy as the 1W?

Edit: Of course if Glenn can get a better quote, I'm down for that too =P

Hey friends, I was recently offered the PGL III -C - 447nm at a cost that I believe is a bit too high, it would work out to about ~$345 +/- after shipping, and they want at least 10 units (20 w/b better), and it is also w/b ("undetermined output"), but to be an FDA approved portable it s/b <500mW I am sure it would be very important to CNI to be "offering legal class IV lasers" in the USA, so I don't yet know the rated or actual output for sure, but if you are not in the USA and if it isn't sent through the USA, then a 1W output power would be attainable I am sure. btw, "Freight charge" from CNI is typically ~$220 (shipped with insurance)... ...and I'll keep looking into it... -Glenn

Glenn, please let me know... I'd be interested in a PGL-III-C 447 however we could get them.

Unless CNI manages to put some fantastic optics into these, I'm saving my money for one of the PGL-III-C hosts that hopefully are available via a GB.
