UPDATE - SOLD

Up for grabs : Brand new (about 20-25mins total time on the diode) IgorT-built 6x Blu Ray 405nm laser in the gorgeous Romisen grey aluminum host.  Power is set to 190mW, +/- a few mW.

Now... let me explain WHY my IgorT 6x is for sale.  I LOVE THIS LASER.  The beam is highly visible and it smokes anything you put in front of it. Wood, plastic, paper, etc... matches and balloons aren't even challenging.

When I ordered the laser from IgorT in Jan09 I wasn't sure I wanted to get back in to the laser hobby - it had been YEARS since I had built one.  So, I placed the order and waited.  It took a good amount of time, but it finally arrived!  After playing with it this weekend I know for sure... I'm thrilled to be back in this hobby and I wanna hang around for awhile.

So why sell?  Simple.  I'm a DIY kind of guy.  My biggest disappointment with my IgorT laser is that I didn't build it! I'm DYING to build my own 405nm!  So... to fund the project I'll pass my new IgorT 6X on to someone else and begin ordering the parts I need for a 405nm build of my own.  Works for me since someone who isn't a DIY'er will get a great laser, and I'll have the money to play/fund my new(ish) hobby without sinking more in.

The Details:
This laser is sitting in it's box, just as it was packed from Igor.  It will include everything IgorT sends:
• The Laser, 405nm 6x Blu Ray @ 190mW
• Grey Aluminum Romisen host with Igor's custom driver/heatsink
• 2 x 14500 AA Protected TrustFire Batteries
• Multiple glow-in-the-dark tail caps
Price = $269.00 (includes shipping, and I'm happy to ship anywhere)

Optional parts (if you don't feel like waiting for a Deal Extreme order to arrive):
• UltraFire 14500 Battery Charger $12.46 (same cost as Deal Extreme)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1251

• Mini 9-inch Tripod $5.25 (same cost as DX)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2066

• Universal Clamp for the Tripod (to hold the laser) $2.61 (same cost as DX)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14150

I don't mind selling the charger/batteries/tripod with the 6x laser since I am going to have to place a new order with them anyway for whatever host I choose, as well as a few other things I will need.

TOTAL PRICE FOR THE WHOLE PACKAGE (including shipping) : $289.32

DISCLOSURE - IMPORTANT:
I absolutely will NOT sell this laser to someone who is already in Batch #3 - so no pulling out of your order to buy this one instead, UNLESS you talk to Igor and he says "Go ahead".  I tried to email Igor and make sure this sale was OK with him, but I got his auto-responder. If he objects, I will remove the laser for sale out of respect for him.  I have NO intention of making a cent on this transaction... everything is priced at exactly what I paid for it.  I will actually lose a few bucks due to PayPal fees.

Payment:
Cash, check, money order, or PayPal works.  PayPal is preferred - PM me for the address to use.

Shipping:
SAME DAY PAYMENT IS RECEIVED via FedEx INSURED w/tracking in the USA.  USPS for anywhere else in the world.

I am definitely going to build a couple PHR kits, mostly to get the hang of working with these BR diodes - I'd hate to kill/smash a 6x based on inexperience.  A very good friend of mine owns a metal fabrication facility in Columbus, OH - so I have some neat ideas for custom heatsinks and hosts!  Once (more like IF) 6x's make their way back on the scene I'll pick up a couple. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keeping an eye on 'daguin' and his teardown of the 8x sled he bought too...

I was ready to order the parts a few weeks ago and had to, literally, restrain myself until my IgorT showed up to make sure I really wanted to drop the time and cash this will inevitably require.  What's the saying... "anything worth doing is worth OVERdoing."  LOL - so there you go.

I did the same with learning to fly helicopters - why go through the hours and hours and hours of build and test time if you don't enjoy flying?  So I flew FIRST, enjoyed it, and THEN bought one to build and test.  Made sense for me to do the same with this project - when I commit myself to it, I really jump in with both feet.

PLUS - I can't lose on this one, right?  Worst that happens is I end up KEEPING the IgorT 6x as a prize laser - no real punishment there - it's a brilliant laser!   :)

Yes, 20-30 minutes, NOT hours!!  HAHA   ;D :eek:  Barely been used at all... I spent most of the time getting good photos. Looks like Igor is really trying to deal with a tax-issue in Slovenia, people in Batch #2 Europe have not received their orders yet - so Batch #3 will be a little while, I would think. No real way to know until Igor resurfaces... :-/

This laser that I'm selling isn't being used any further - it's in the box and sitting, it will incur no further use until it's new owner plays with it! :cool:
