Ok, I've put you on the list. But just to clarify, this isn't an "interest list" it's an "ok, I'm comitted!" list. So if you're just expressing interest, not a decision, I should take you off until you're comitted.

azzman372:
However they normally deal with that. You should read their site. If it doesn't explain, contact them. None of that policy/procedure stuff would be different here than it would be for their site in general.

General Note:
- If a laser or two of mine sell, I'll order the 500mW right away, and try to review it before this GB concludes. However, at the rate we're going, my sense is that I won't be able to get the 500mW ordered far enough in advance to have it in hand before this GB concludes. So, we may or may not have a review of the 500 before moving forward with the GB.

To be honest I'm interested in the 500mW one... and am not in any particular rush and can wait for the review. But I am defiantly in for the 300mW version if others can't wait :beer:

That is explained in the OP. Please read it.

Not trying to troll you by referring you back to the OP instead of just answering, but if you've missed that, you've probably missed other important info too, that for the sake of a smoothGB, I want everyone to have read.

Here's the relevant part:

The Options -
This is neat. We can actually choose THREE (3) different FireDragon options to choose from. As long as there are 10 participants in total, we will get the group-buy prices. I thought this would be good, since the new addition is a more expensive 500mW FireDragon, and not everyone may have this in their budget. So we're also going to add a 250mW cheaper FireDragon. We can't quite get the same prices as we did for the first GB on the 300mW unit, since the prices have actually gone up since then, but the dollar value of the discount itself is actually higher. I've worked with LaserMan to figure out the FireDragons where they have the largest margin to discount. One note: Logistically and financially speaking, I don't have the time to grab and review one of the 500mW units. So, consider that model "un-reviewed".

You can choose option 2, or option 3, or one of both (if you want to buy two lasers). They're all "on the go". If you only want option 3, then only choose option 3, and that's what you'll be signed up for. If you only want option 2, then only choose option 2, and that's what you'll be signed up for.

If FIVE people choose option 2 and FIVE people choose option 3, then FIVE people will get option 2, and FIVE people will get option 3. If NOBODY chooses option 1, then NOBODY gets option 1. Etc etc etc.

In other words, you get the option you choose. End of story. We just need a total of 10 people committing to ANY COMBINATION of the three options, and then each person participating will get the discount price on their particular chosen option.

I stayed away from those models during selection of the GB options. They use smaller 532 modules, that are less prone to coming in over-spec. Plus, I think 3 options is neat, but I wouldn't want to deal with more than we have right now.

Added!

You'll pay LaserMan directly. Once we hit 10 participants. Which sort of seems like it will happen in about a day, lol.

Well.... everybody's would have been different. My 300s peaked around 400 and 500. Others came in around 300 to 350. Others hit 550 I believe.

When talking about spec on "inexpensive" (although it's all relative) 532nm lasers, there's a lot of luck and variance involved.
