Ahem:

Buy Laser pointer, Blue laser pointer, 450nm laser pointer, Most popular 1000mw high power blue 450nm laser pointer with multiple power indication Blaser III at Aliexpress.com

So, the cost to you is...

$218.97 x 10 + $141.03 = US $2,330.73

And if it costs you $10 to reship to everyone, the figure comes to $2,430.73...

$2,600 - $2,430.73 = $169.27

Just saying. A $167 finder's fee for a simple Google search is a little excessive. Especially when you're ordering from something as sketchy as Alibaba (well, AliExpress).

There's very little if any opportunity for recourse for the buyers.

Seems he decided to switch to this instead:

Most popular 1000mw high power blue 450nm laser pointer with multiple power indication Spyder III - Detailed info for Most popular 1000mw high power blue 450nm laser pointer with multiple power indication Spyder III,Spyder III,Most popular 1000mw hig

Fewer buyers required, lower price, even sketchier, and no recourse for buyers in case of defect! Hooray!

Nice find... :beer:

This is not a GB... It is a fronted quantity purchase...

The OP should buy the Lasers by his own means and
try to sell them (with his profit added on) in the B/S/T
section....

I factored in $10 reshipping to 10 people... $100. :)

Should have noted it in my math instead of just adding it... :tinfoil:

I'll edit. :beer:

Umm...

1) Post bigger pictures
2) 450nm? Nonsense.
3) From what i can see the host is not identical to the Spyder III itsself. Essentially, this is the thread for buying a laser that looks sort of like an Arctic.

The problem is you want your buyers to shoulder the risk, but still want to turn a profit.

And you're buying from the sketchiest of all sketchy websites.

Seeing that the Seller has 98.9 positive feedback, I doubt these items would be low quality

That does not change the fact that you're asking your buyers to shoulder the risk for your financial gain.

It's like selling company stock on Wall Street, but pocketing the dividends that should be paid to your stockholders.

Plus, with Alibaba, there is little to no recourse for you or your buyers. And if you don't have the money to "invest," then I doubt you have the money to cover a defective product in case the seller will not...

You would need to get one and give it to a reputable
member that has the equipment to check it out and
have that member do a Review on that Laser...

As Trevor has stated... YOU become responsible for
any Lasers that don't work... not the end buyer...
Do you have the resources to cover any defects....
You are opening a big can of worms.... IMO

Or contact the seller and ask them to LPM all their lasers before shipment. Price changed. Someone just bought these and gave positive feedback.

Yeah..... Like I'm going to believe the Power Tests of an
unknown Chinese seller... Here..... pull my other leg..:crackup:

Gee... someone just bought them and has already received them
and left feedback because they are so great....:whistle:

Unless you can get a sample and ensure recourse for your buyers, then that's probably a good plan.
