The buyer knew I was not going to ship immediately and we remained in contact during the tim between payment and shipment. I omitted these details from this thread as it felt it was too much detail not relevant to the point that the buyer agreed to accept all risks and reneged on that. In...

@thejoker Yes, I agree with you. I did it all wrong. I put trust in this guy and he reneged on our agreement. Your guidelines make a lot of sense and after this experience I 100% agree with you. For future sales I will handle this much differently and not extend any trust to the buyer. If the...

It's very disappointing when you make an agreement with someone, they break the agreement and other people then claim I was the one that was wrong. In the context of paypal's policies, I was wrong. But sending a laser under any conditions would be wrong so there would be no right way to send a...

OK this issue seems now to be sorted out. I just left the dispute open because there was nothing else for me to do. because of the shipping I used (canada post small packet air) there is no tracking or insurance and nothing canada post can do. I deposited enough back into my paypal account to...

In this case I wanted to help a new laser enthusiast out. He seemed to know his stuff and I wanted to find a good home the lasers I built. He bought one in the same manner of shipping as the second disputed one. He paid promptly and I shipped. He got it and was satisfied. Later he said his...

Thanks for all your help. I am reading the protection guidelines. there are two things that stand out in terms of what transactions paypal will protect for the buyer. two of the criteria that will result in no protection are "custom made items" and "items that violate paypal or ebay policies"...

I really wanted to make some lasers that take into account gaps that I have experienced myself with laser builds. so I set out to build some real quality 3W 9mm 445s using sinner's nice copper head hosts. I put considerable time into them, hand machining copper heat sinks for the build. I put...

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please oh no. spam! i hope the forum doesnt get infiltrated.

All lasers in this post are SOLD. thanks everyone for your enthusiasm and repeat business. I am glad I was able to make some high performance lasers that meet your high expectations!

As per the previous post, I made them. I used copper shims. first I rough cut them with a diamond wheel. each pair had to be made as a pair to fit into the host in the right way. i wanted to have as much surface contact with the inside of the heatsink as possible. this required arduous hand...

Laser B sold! thank you to the buyer.

Thanks for the feedback on the build post. they really are nice lasers thanks to sinner's great hosts. The laser can focus to a point within a 1-2' distance from the aperture. you can simply focus it to a point and then move the focal point to within your take volume. it will focus at least 2'...

Back from vacation! B&C still available.

Just a bump. :bumpit:

Hello everyone. Watching this buy/sell forum over the past months it seems like people are selling their lasers and otherwise are hard up for cash. Makes sense with prices going up so much and such a sluggish economy. I've decided to slash my prices on these lasers. I've taken $50US off each...
