$4.79 SHIPPED New-Wish style greens

I know I've posted a few of these kinda of posts, but I stumbled upon THIS just now and thought some folks might want to pick up a couple. Could be overspec, who knows =]

EDIT: After looking at the feedback (100% with only 4 reviews) after Spyro pointed it out, I'm labeling this BUYER BEWARE. However, that being said, over 200 have been sold, so who knows for sure :/

Looks like a loss leader to get some ebay feedback.

I'd recommend this instead: Powerful 5mW 532nm Astronomy Green Beam Light Laser Pointer Pen Class 3A Black | eBay

It's cheaper, and slightly lower % feedback, but much more experience. I bet (I didn't check though) that some of those negative feedbacks are simply from slow shipping - which should be expected in the first place.

Alex, I got that pointer and the head isn't made of metal, it's made of plastic...so it's nigh impossible to remove the module without destroying the host.

For under $5 who cares about the host?

Given that they sold out, I'm assuming you're the one who bought them out?

I have enough green lasers (2).

That's nowhere near enough, atleast not for me. Green is my favorite, then red, violet, blue, etc.

Its a money issue, not love. I love all the colors equally. Well, maybe 405 a little more.

Ah, fair enough. I've learned to cherish the years when I don't have a tight cash flow and I have nothing to spend money on but myself. Kinda one thing I'm nervous for when I enter the "real world".

I'm similarly lucky. Just curious though, how old are you (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm 19, but started when i was 13/14.

And for those that missed, here's a similar: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Powerful-5m...ltDomain_0&hash=item20c38abcd8#ht_2966wt_1120

Or maybe a nicer host for just over a buck more:

The real world will grind your bones to dust. But as long as you have good friends, and family, you''l be just fine.

Being broke makes you appreciate things more, puts what is really important in perspective, and makes you work hard to achieve what you desire. It feels good when you preserver. Its truly is a character builder. Everyone should be pushed to thier limit to measure what they are truly made of. The world would be a better place. This "I want my kids to have what I didnt have" mentality is whats killing mankind. Being broke teaches you money is nothing in the whole realm of things. All the really important things in life are not money based, and giving is way more important than taking.

I agree with most of this, if not all. That said, I struggle every day not to spoil my kids. Hardest thing ever. You don't even have to be rich, hot wheels that were a luxury when I was a kid come 20 to a box for $5!

All that said, I would willingly take on the responsibility of being rich if it will help someone else out! So anyone who wants to shed some of their richness, PM me and I will give you my PayPal to send me money!

I've seen my friends kids play with the boxes, and paper, more then their toys on Christmas. Then I seen my spoiled 10y nephew got well over $800 in presents, maybe more, and cry like baby because he didnt get a PS3. I wanted to slap my brother in the face.

I HATE scenes like that. I mean, I don't even make long wish lists for my C-Day and Christmas because I don't want to seem greedy. My real works at a McDonalds down in Florida (first divorce, long story) and she's got 5 kids to supply child support to, ex-step-dad (I have nothing good to say about him other than he's good at ripping lives apart) got some random chick knocked up and then left with my sisters to Oregon. Long story short, she's now supporting all of them and (previously) myself with child support, while working a little over minimum and supporting her roommates that expect her to pay for everything they need. She recently got $14,000 from BP because she was out of a job for a while due to the oil spill, she spent it on all of her kids, a good majority of it, on us. Then a car for herself since her other one was falling apart. I BEGGED her to not get my something expensive because she hasn't had money for herself in YEARS. Perhaps over a decade. Out of all that, she's a diamond in the rough in the end. She's everything to me, the best person you could know. She'd give a homeless person anything. She visited Colorado for a few days to see me, we went to Denver for a museum and she was counting the homeless because she was stunned. Almost broke into tears. She's just that type, she has just shy of nothing, and she'd rather give it all away if she could. In all honesty, I have no idea where this story is going, I just felt the need to share it.
