As for item condition:

This laser has been lightly used, however has been kept in pristine condition. I have always kept it in the foam case when not in use, with the batteries removed. The lens and diode are all clean and scratch/dust free. As can be seen, the diode life time is estimated at >5000 hours of use, and I have MAYBE used 2 hours of that total.

Accessories that are included in this sale are:
-----Original foam carrying case the laser came in
-----Two diffraction gratings, (valued at $30,) which create the effects seen in photo two.
-----8x rechargeable AAA eneloop 800 mAh batteries, chosen specifically to work within the requirements of this laser pointer for their voltage and mAh (a $20 value)
-----AAA Sanyo battery recharger with cord (a ~$15 value)

In total, this is around a $350 package for all these items new! I am asking for $130 (I will pay shipping, and any desired order tracking). I know I don't have many posts here but I am a well rated seller on ebay (checkers6676) and I am willing to do any steps to ensure there is no risk of scamming, such as paying for postage tracking, signature confirmation, etc.etc. You name it.

Let me know if you have any questions. As stated above, this is the 125 mW viper series green laser from dragon lasers, with all necessary accessories.

Feel free to email me at abenne9@gmail.com
I am also happy to discuss the item on the phone with interested buyers, email me for my number.

Normally, people will require that you post a picture with your username written on a piece of paper, next to the working pointer. You should add one of those photos to help your sale.

I'd advise using a middle man if you want to buy this laser.

I will be more than happy to use a middle man in this trade.

Pictures:



With diffraction grating, lights on.


With diffraction grating, lights off.


Again with lights off, diffraction grating.




Igniting a match (you can see the burn hole left in the diffraction grating - lights on image).


I took this image in the Big Bend national park several months ago, pretty awesome.


If there is anything else desired please say so.

Just a tip on your second to last image lighting a match!!! Dont light a match that close to the aperture, your dorkin up the lens!!!!

Noted, however, lens is fine. laser beam is still a singular dot with no sign of beam hitting any particles or anything.

All interested parties: I will be out of town this weekend for a required field exercise, I will reply to all thread posts, emails, or PMs Sunday night. Thank you!

No doubt this is a great laser, but you may find it difficult to sell at the $215 price, and without testing to confirm that it's still doing ~125mW.

A brand new, same quality laser, can be had for about $160 from optotronics.

Then there are a ton of cheaper options out there, at the same power, for $80-$120.

So if you're not willing to part with this laser for a lot less than you paid for it (and I mean even less then the current price) you may be happier just keeping it.

The price is now $130, I pay shipping and any tracking fees.

Where are you located. I am really wanting to get another Greenie for my Collection since I seem to have traded them all away! may be a couple weeks before I rebuild my Hobby funds though!

I'm located in Baton Rouge, LA, USA but I'm willing to ship anywhere in the US for free. I would need to look at international costs if you are located abroad.

This is now a GREAT deal for someone. Should sell quickly at that price. Sputnik77 is absolutely right though....you had the aperture of the laser WAY to close to the match. If it were to ignite at that close range you run a high risk of coating the lens with sulfur residue and carbon particles. Not fun stuff to clean off. Be careful in the future with your lenses. They are damn near impossible to find replacements for.

Yup, this is a good deal for someone now.

I doubt the pen is under 100mW, and the host is a classic.

Edit: Actually with the batteries, charger and diffraction gratings it is a great, not just good deal. I didn't realize those were included in the sale.

DYK that this was the original WL Nexus? It was their main bread and butter for the first few years they were in business. At one point they had a buy one get one free deal going on. I have always loved this pen laser. It is a damned shame I don't have one now. I would buy this one but I just spent $500 on those Skylasers to review them (2 of which are 100mW+ pen style lasers) just can't justify buying this laser at this time.

Hmm, no, had no idea. I only started paying close attention to WL in the past year or so.

I'm also very tempted by this deal. Unfortunately I'm committed to doing another side by side kind of review, and a bunch of other stuff (Idk how I'm gonna afford Jeff's WFTM). Besides I know if I do grab it, it will see little use.

As pen lasers go, a rigel is next on my list:shhh:

current offer is $140.
