I bought an RPL 400 Green laserfrom Jack at Optotronics (great guy) a few weeks ago for a presentation at the university.  Now that my presentation is done I no longer need the laser.

I bought it with a lens and prism kit.
It has two rechargeable batteries (use 1 at a time)
recharger
case
prism kit
3 pairs of colored safety goggles

No scratches or wear. Just used it for a morning presentation.

I paid $1600 for the laser, new.

Jack included with it a bench test that shows its output at 424 at the 8th setting (settings are 0 through 9).


I'm not sure what to ask for it but I would entertain a best offer. I will ship it anyway you want.  I am located in Virginia/North Carolina

Thank you

Jay

Since you only have 1 post you might have trouble getting people to trust you.

It was from this site that I learned a lot. But then again I only needed the laser for a presentation.

Optotronics was easy to deal with and I thought it would be cheesy to buy it and return it. I respect Jack them and decided to hold on to it.

I bought three pairs of orange goggles for my assitatnts for safety and when I was done with the presentation I hid the whole thing away in my study.

My 9 year old has been obsessed with finding it and my wife and I have collectively decided to sell it.

As to your comment about trust, you guys are always welcome to ask Optronics about my purchase.

I was wondering why on earth you would want to sell such a good laser, but I think that is a very reasonable reason indeed :) Family first, lasers second :)

Venturi - if anyone steps up to the plate to buy this marvelous laser, and you need a middleman, I am simply a PM away.

You send it to Senkat, buyer pays you as soon as it gets to Senkat, and Senkat ships it out to the buyer.

That covers it :)

There are others on here that would be willing to help out as a middleman, also ;)

Ok, I 'll use the middle man

Let me know what the next step is or do I just wait for someone who wants a 400mw+ laser?

You can always hide the batteries to keep your son from using it. 18650's aren't something you can find at the local store.

Yup - you got it - once someone says that they will take it - either they can pay you as soon as I receive the laser from you, or They pay me, I pay you, etc - the only part you need to worry about now - is whom will buy it :) We'll work out the small details after you have a buyer - it goes a LONG way to proving yourself on here when you use a middleman - that way everyone feels safe !

The RPL's are heavy enough - I would worry about a youngster swinging it around :p

quite true, but overall we really don't need a nice laser like this. I am content with a laser pointer.

I think they are really fascinating, I just don't need a laser for any more than my presentation.

However, I will admit it was uber cool.

Send it to me and I'll performance test it as well as be a middleman. Remember how Jack said under some special circumstances he would honor a refund. He has probably already been reading this.
When I bought my first RPL-225, which I love, I told my wife if I didn't like it or if we suddenly needed the money I could always recover 75% here or on ebay. That was to put her at ease with the $800 she discovered gone.
I plan on upgrading to the RPL-400 when I can put together the extra $800.
A fair price would be 75% of what you paid or about $1200. AND it comes with a 1 year warranty which is transferable. M $.02

Well, as soon as I get an interested party I guess I can send it to you.
