BTW, existotem and techood are the same company. I just found that out when I opened a dispute on existotem and Robinson from techood answered me. I couldn't tell you why they have different prices, but they are the same company.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit. Sometimes you need a play book just to keep track of all the players.

Remember DinoD saying THEY would no longer sell lasers... then several 'new' sellers appeared and ALL were DD clones.. They denied...but all had SAME FAX there is yr clue...

will go for ~10 too if a GB is ran...

I know we can get them under $20 if we do a GB and I would be good for at least (5) myself. How much under $20 who knows? The cheapest I have purchased the sleds were at $16. I have offered techhood $23 for a single sled and the offer was accepted so I'm guessing that's close to bottom dollar for singles.

Hi,
They will down more with multiple units purchased on some items . iv'e done it and some great buys to there not to bad with some stuff. I purchased quite a few sleds and diodes from them. You might have to wait a bit ,but you save a lot of cash in the long run.

Hi RB,
Thank you, Tearing down these sleds are great i did about 5 so far plus this one and have 2 sleds . It seems working for it gives some self satisfaction and achievement . iIhave a lot of hosts so it's going to be tuff to decide. It will be raining here a lot today so i'll have time to set the driver and build one. I'll be using a X Boost for the build, i have some nano drivers but have to see how to set the ranges on them never used them before . Maybe a Sinner full CU Magic Pen i have a few of those and they look great when i throw them on the polishing wheel with some rouge and buff them.
