That the seller refuses to ship...

 

[Kevlar]

I thought for that price what the heck but if he refuses to ship whats the point.

Seems like a bottom of the market seller to me.

It still might be a good deal though - getting something shipped for $10 or under is downright cheap.

I think you'd be better off shopping with dealextreme and such for value for money. The under $10 deals may seem attractive, but consider what you area actually buying - dont count on anything consistent at these prices!

I took a chance on five from etimeshop for about the same price and all were overspec and sold like hotcakes--MMMM hotcakes!!-- I asked just the other day if they were still selling the same exact one and they said yes--shipping was fast for a china seller and there was a considerable combined ship discount too. All still working fine.

Well, for that price I figured what the hell and ordered 1. I'll let you know how it turns out. I needed something while I'm waiting for my host on my 6X build. Maybe I'll just use it for my spirograph

 

[Tech_Junkie]

This is the clown that wont ship our lasers. About 100 of us ordered and none were shipped.

 

[Kevlar]

Aw man that sucks. Has anyone every gotten it resolved through PP?

 

[Tech_Junkie]

I'm sure we will get a refund, but I want my damn $3 laser LOL. I opened a claim today.

 

[Kevlar]

:crackup: Yeah, I just want my cheapo blu-ray. I'll let you know what happens...

Thanks for the heads up. :thanks:

OP - look up etimeshop and see what his prices look like. As many others have said, his pens are usually a lot more than 5mW and are pretty cheap. My BR is 36mW and the green is doing 54! If I were going to buy cheap pens from anyone on ebay, that would be the person. Good record so far.
