It appears that they are gone.

It does not even say "Sold Out".

Just gone....

As if they never existed.

I wonder if they took the product off the site to avoid people emailing questions about when they will be available again. anyway my order is in. looking forward to doing a review.

Weird. When they were out before, they kept the listing. I'll bet we won't see them again. :cryyy:

What's the deal with (*cringe*) the DinoDirect "Certified Power Guarantee" Firepoint greens?
Firedragon-III 532nm 350mW Flashlight Style Elite Green Laser Pointer Kit (Certified Power Guaranteed) - DinoDirect.com

Apart from the usual re: cheap chinese gadget website reliability, etc - any thoughts on this line of lasers from DD ?

$/mW seems on par with the 400mW O-Like... and after all, they're all coming from China...?

That DD laser pointer exactly looks like the 350mW/450mW/550mW O-like IR filtered green laser torches. Looks like it is on sale on DD right now. The description does not mention anything regarding IR filtering though...

I have the 450mW IR filtered O-like however I had to send it back to China in order to fix it because the spring broke off from the driver.

I have never purchased anything from DinoDirect because - if I know well - they do not ship lasers to the United States...

The sale is a farce - they're always "on sale" - and a sketchy company from an ethics perspective I think. Still an interesting item...

Well, as you can see I visit really often that web site...

I have just read a comment of a customer on DinoDirect who said "don't expect all suggested in the description on Dino to be true."
That says everything.

To make things correct, the 400mW green laser torch is actually on the list, marked as sold out.

The 350mW portable Green laser torch/IR filtered is not on the list anymore.

Re: O-like 400mw green - $208 (hitting 600mw) - Review

It actually disappeared, as though it did not exist, for about 12 hours.

Then it re-appeared as "Sold Out".

Possibly they needed to verify whether they could get more or not...

Cause why is O-Like so stupid and produce only 10 lasers ?? Why not 50?!

I am sure that they don´t produce them themselves. It´s rather a selection process, which means only some out of a mass are >350mw. So for getting 10 you need to inspect maybe 100 to get them. I personally guess that O-like is kind of division of a larger company, so it would be possible for them to select, just to satisfy the laser-enthusiasts needs and get some extra business... But I may be wrong.

Weird. When they were out before, they kept the listing. I'll bet we won't see them again.

Don´t be sad, I just looked and they are there. Just sold out at the moment, but still there. So no reason to order at a not validated source.

Yes that was odd. The 400mw OL-532-350 did in fact disappear. But now its back and the OLNG-350 is gone. I have the OLNG-350 and its a fantastic laser (see my review) so I am glad I got one. I choose it over the OL-532 because of what I think is a better design. But I ordered the OL-532 when they just had them so I well get one of those as well and see how it does compared to the OLNG. I will then likely sell one of them so keep your eyes open. O-like told me 3-4 weeks delivery (I did not opt to pay the extra for express delivery [i can wait]).

It's fantastic they are getting these output powers from DPSS 532 these days for so cheap. Remember when a 300mw 532 could only be had in a labby for >$1000? but what really blows my mind is 1-2W of 445 out of a tiny diode!

ok, how long will it take until it is back in stock ?

Re: O-like 400mw green - $208 (hitting 600mw) - Review

The last time it took about 1 1/2 month to restock and the dozen of 400mW green lasers were gone in about 2-3 hours...
