Hopefully the price won't be much more... I mean this one was $399CAD.. which is basically double of other lasers. But this was also a prototype, so hopefully cost can go down somewhat.

That said... if this was a 4W laser he has selling... good chance I would have gotten it. I just promised myself not to buy another 445 unless it was over 2W.

A Laser is valued to what ever the seller feels its valued at.

Now You might feel its not worth it in your eyes and would not pay that much for a laser however there are many that would that sees the value. Like FP did.

Its not just what parts coast and then some.

Its the time and thought put into a custom piece like this for ex.

Some Peoples value there time more then others. Only the builder knows how long it took to build such a piece or any laser for that mater.

Most members here including myself also sell laser at less then they make an Hour at there steady job.

A buyer that is looking to buy a laser and sees that value as fair then its worth every penny to the buyer.

If you cannot tell the difference between well money spent and a Rip off then you should not be buying online.

I can tell this laser took a good amount of time to make.:) In my eyes its well worth that Price and some.:whistle:

+ you get a 2 year Warranty.:beer:

You can buy an Arctic for $100 Less and Arctics are massed produced. This is one of a Kind build.

See the Value.


EDIT:
WB Beat me to it.;)

^^^Guys, I wasn't complaining about the price, and agree with what you're saying. That laser took a lot of time and forethought to make.

As far as I'm concerned it's a work of art and the price is VERY VERY justified, especially for a first prototype.

I'm just hoping that given time the price could fall somewhat. Normally I'd get this in a heartbeat... but after taxes:cryyy: Also I think this laser could have sold easily for $500USD shipped, and that would still be a fair price IMO. It really says volumes that the price wasn't set higher...

Anyway, like I said in the last post... I'm saving up for one of those 4-6W starting now:)

That is a nice housing, looks very nice... I love 18650 by the way.... price is quite a bit higher, but I would say it's worth it!
