Start out with a ebay 301 532 green and with your budget it will leave you enough money for some HDE or equivlant safety glasses and battery. You will see the beam.

An ebay 303/301 green laser is probably the best you can do at that budget. You won't be able to get a violet laser with a visible beam for <$30.

The problem is none of them ship to the Netherlands do you know any other site?

Uh, bitlasers is located in Norway and they 'might' ship to NE, but they're a bit out of your price range. You can also try sites like this
20mW Green Laser pointers : Laser Pointer Store, Your Lucky Laser Pointers, Powerful Laser Pointer for sales

:crackup: haha I lol'd at this pretty hard, I started out with that 301 laser and was so stoked when I burned my first match. I remember it took me forever because I couldn't find the focal point and I also had to color the match head black. Now with the lasers I have I can start campfires and burn wood and metal. But yeah that 303 er 301 laser is a great laser to start out with because it has a focus ring and isn't really bright enough to cause eye damage from a quick flash to the eyes. nonetheless get some eye protection

Other than a couple 532 pens I first got these 301's made me get my first safety glasses and batteries and charger. I still am kinda amazed to what you get for $8 with the host and focus etc. Yup I lit my first match with one and how cool it was.
My 2 greens still work and really believe when someone asks what "can I get for $20?" for the 1000th's time they are the go too as it brings you to the next step.
