So, for those of you who don't know, I'm running this deal:

http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/1-1w-445nm-custom-build-ehgemus-host-5-00-a-54761.html

As you may notice from this run (my first time with a deal like this--mostly a trial run [still legit of course]) it'll be around 1-2 weeks before I end each "steal". Therefore, I have a question:

How often should I do this?


PLEASE only vote if you have PM'd me and know the details of the deal

Thanks guys :)

While I'm pretty sure that the general consensus will be as fast as humanly possible, I think that you should only do them when you and your builder have time.

Hope you got a good response to this.
Once members start receiving <and reviewing> $5 lasers every couple months, you'll see an even greater influx. Glad your doing it ,)

He isn't losing any money on this "awesome, kickass" deal. In fact I believe he is coming out ahead. He sells 80 "diode units" for $5 = $400. Cost of the laser = ~$225 so $400-$225= $175 subtract a little for shipping fees and however much he decides to donate to LPF. So it should read "a very very small chance at....an awesome kickass deal"

I did in fact say that. Yobr is right the cost of a fully assembled laser (for this build) is actually closer to around $250 with shipping costs and paypal fees. I was planning if all the 'diodes' sell that I'd donate around $100 to the forum.
