Maybe a few orders ....or have had problems with the various customs around the world ! as I trusted once to me,given that I asked why the shipping is so long....!
They told me that due to the customs must ensure that the laser face many rounds .....!

Their probably losing business and are starting to wise up :thinking:

It is still too expensive compared to competition IMO. I'm not speaking about lab expanders, which are different level.

 

[Ricker]

About time, I'm sure it's due to lack of sales!

Hey RedCowboy it looks like the WL BE has a very large input lens that could maybe prove useful ?

 

[Cyparagon]

In the days of Chinese mass production, there's no reason two lenses mounted in a tube should cost anything near $150, let alone $400. There's simply no excuse.

As long as the output lens is large enough to accommodate the larger input diameter. :beer:

Wicked Lasers Beam Expander | eBay

Do you really imagine that ebay link is the real Wicked Lasers the company in China? :crackup:

I could be wrong but from what I can see that ebay seller guy is not Wicked Lasers the company in China nor does he represent them in the USA. He is just a guy in Los Angeles who purloined most of their name, calling himself "wickedxasersusa" on ebay and his ebay shop "wickedxlasers" He resells WL items at stupid high phony prices to people who don't know any better which he has put his hands on by hook or crook.

Anyone can order a 10X expander from the real WL actual web site at $149.95 and they will ship it to them--no problem. Have never seen them offered for any other amount by the legitimate WL company on the WL web site and have never seen them market any of thier products on ebay at any time.

Do you really think the real WL company in China who will not ship lasers over 5mW to US, CH, AU, and NZ because it is illegal to do so is brain damaged enough to illegally import and attempt to illegally sell new WL high powered laser products from an office Los Angeles at brain damaged silly high prices, compared to the web site prices, to people within the USA just for the fun of it and the couple of pennies to be made. Is possible but I doubt it.

Exactly.
The BE always just another high overpriced WL aggressively hyped/marketed item,
It was never worth the $149.00 it has always been sold for--- except perhaps to people who collect WL items for whatever reason.

That may be so but I know for a fact that on 03-04-2017 they were $399.00 at their web site because I went to their web site to buy one which was before I had ever seen their ebay link.

After I had seen the price on their web site I posted about it here post #20....

speaking of WL, did "Laser Chick" suddenly disappear after she sold all her WL stuff? Strange!
