How much for a complete 50mW 532nm (including postage to Australia)

By complete I mean w/ all necessary cords etc.

Sorry, but unless you're a research lab trying to shell out good money on a single-longitudinal mode or some other special purpose 50mW, its really not worth the cost. Us hobbyists like things cheap and on the higher end I can supply, but at 50mW the overhead of making a decent quality module would make your eyes pop out when I told you a price (even if we did a huge GB so that the overhead costs of an order nearly dissappeared, the cost of a good module will still be FAR higher than that of a quality 50mW portable). For something like that, you pretty much gotta stick to one of the pieces of junk that DX sells, sorry!

do you have hene.How about yag.

If you're EVER looking to drop any money on any sort of laser, get in touch with me first! I have what a daresay are a lot of unbeatable deals on new lasers, green, blue, and more from a few mW to a few hundred, as well as a host of used lasers to offer.

So, your unbeatable deals, they are only for portables? Just curious because when I read the top post I was thinking lab style, also.

what company do you work for pseudonomen137? or are you getting the unbeatable deals another way?

Direct from the manufacturer in decent quantities


I keep clicking this link thinking that just maybe the dates on the original post have changed ;D

Haha, lava I didn't mean I can offer the best prices on EVERYTHING - just saying I figure if you're looking to buy something, might as well send me a message to see (its not like you got anything to lose just for checking afterall). Yeah, typically when I sell anything, they are portable units, but I sell labbies from time to time also. This is not a huge business for me or anything though - its just a hobby, and I can't afford to keep everything like 50mW cheap green lab modules sitting on shelves.

That said, I do sell lab modules, but as a general rule of thumb the more expensive the laser you're looking for is, the better deal I can offer. If you asked me for a 50mW portable I'd refer you to Nova or DX also, but if you asked for a 300mW portable or labbie..

No company - just a hobby. Back before novalasers, dragonlasers, et al. when it was pretty much just WL and laserglow, and 125mW greenies cost 500mW, I realized I could do things better and offer lower prices (by putting a nice chunk of cash on the line mind you). Since then, prices have dropped considerably all around and I find myself rerouting people to companies like Novalasers all the time because they simply offer a better deal than I can. There are still many areas I feel I can offer good deals in though, so I keep doing it. As stressful as it is, its great fun to get to see so many different lasers and test the reputations of so many companies. Though I do definitely do profit off some of my sales, I take many losses too (this post was originally about me selling yellows less than they cost me, right?) and I still have a lot of expensive test equipment to pay off, so overall I'm just trying to break even here while learning and having some fun in the process (and hopefully help others learn and get a good deal while I'm at it). So if you're looking for a large company that's simply vying to make a profit, you'll have to look elsewhere.
