That's confusing me ... if you were going to scam people, wouldn't you up the price? :confused:

Or he is figuring at that low price he'll get Quantity
Sales.

Of course I'm going to assume no one has, long 'thread,s' about these listings and no one mentioning anything about sending an email, if you have you should mention it, it might stop more peaple waisting there time, if he doesn't reply I will 'assume' this is a scam,
The problem is there are too many threads open
about this seller's low prices...
I've responded on the E-Mail Issue on the other
thread.
I have contacted him yesterday about the item
and he replied this morning. Then I sent him
another message. Waiting for another response.

I did order one of his RGB units just for the hell of it and It does say shipped. Waiting to see what actually shows up.

ITS A SCAM, the seller has a feedback of 4 and has sold 12 of these and some other stuff, amazing. You guys must be bored.

If you want one they are 70-80 dollars, get one HERE> RGB 400mW White Laser Light Module/532nm+650nm+450nm/TTL Modulation/Plug&Play | eBay

Agree --is probably guy selling hot air/ghost and delivering nothing --There are alot of phony offers by people who just lift everything from an old closed auction on ebay and put it up as a new offer--as if....

Looks like he lifted all the pictures from Techhood as well unless they are both using pictures from the manufacturer which would explain that.

Could easily be someone ripping people for small amounts thinkng nobody will bother about getting the money back based on the price and the ebay listing.

We shall see as a few people now have ordered.

And just to think that no-one has brought up the issue of the power on the totally illegitimate RGB module.

532nm(80mW)+650nm(150mW)+445nm(100mW)
That comes out to 330mW, not the advertised 400mW :crackup:

My bet is on worthless item in a package and when confronted "order get mixed up with other order we resend" along with "we no take returns"

Well both my items show SHIPPED with no tracking number.
So if he sends and empty box or crap-in-a-box one can
always tell eBay/PayPal one didn't receive it since there
is no Tracking. That's would be your final defense if you
are so inclined.

The scammers that place crap-in-a-box or send an empty
box have tracking to prove you received a package. This
will have eBay/Paypal require you to pay for return shipping
to get a refund. That is the scam.

there are enough of us that have ordered this, that any issues can be verified with the group. As opposed to a single voice that he could claim his word against yours.

Both my RGB and my diode "shipped" on the 30th

Can't wait to find the results. It's gotta be a scam though. I can't see how anyone would let it go at that cheap of a price.

I'm curious what actually arrives - it could be a turd in a box but also be some laser product, perhaps not up to spec but at least something.

For the $9 RGB one it would be worth getting if the dichro's on it are any good, even if the lasers are crap - if you actually get te baseplate, heatsinks, dichro's and mounts for $9 it would be a good deal even if none of the lasers actually worked ;)
