Cheap yet satisfactory Violet lasers?

Hello all,

I am fairly new to the laser world. Just learning the ropes, and getting to know the different sites that will sell over 5mW lasers to the US. I have been on a search for a violet laser and have had no luck. I prefer a 200mW, that runs fairly cheap (90$ max) now i know this price wont get me a well made laser but im not looking for a high tech well made laser.

I have already tried purchasing off of Lazerers because they offered a 200mW violet for 75$ but my it asked for this visa identification yadda yadda yadda but basically i just couldnt get it done. So i am yet again on my search for a website that will offer cheap, yes not too suspicious, websites that will offer me this type of laser.

I am currently looking at this one here: (i know its not 200mW)
www.rayfoss.com
Any ideas? Is Rayfoss reliable?

So if you guys have any suggestions on websites that may be able to offer what im looking for please post!

Already tried:
Olike
 





I vote NO on rayfoss from my crappy experience (600mW laser marks at 63 average). Since Lazerer isn't working go with laserbtb. I'm happy with all three lasers I bought from them.

Didn't mean in general, meant it more as it's not working out for him ;)
 
oh scared me for a second, just placed an order from there earlier this week. why did they ask you for visa documentation? never asked me for any of that information, just the basics.

id stay away from lazerpoint.com i was going to buy from them but then found countless ripoff reports of them on google. not worth the risk, you have 9+ bad for every good review they got. maybe try lazerer again in a few days and see if it works for you then.

EDIT: if you really like the lazerer laser then you may want to email max directly and see if there is another way you can order the laser. he has been super helpful with me. after placing my order i wanted to add some things to it and he's been really good at responding quickly (within 1-2 days) so possibly try that if you want.

Thank you all! Yes Lazerer asked for my "Visa Identification" and i am no the primary cardholder so i count obtain the information seeing as it was not mine personally. Max actually emailed me and told me the transaction didnt go through (obviously) and gave me a tip to try paying with paypal. I was instantly relieved because i have had no luck finding any other laser. So i actually created a paypal from the link he gave me and we transferred the funds and away we went! It was awesome though that he emailed me. Maybe he did just want my $ but still it was generous. Thanks again for your help guys!
 
i dont think he just wanted your money. he has been VERY helpful with my order and emailed me last night that everything was ready to be shipped out and my order confirms that. im hoping it goes out tonight and it'll be on its way to me. from what i can tell max seems to be very nice, quick to respond to questions and for a Chinese company, he impressed me with his English......not too many Chinese companies can communicate in English well. keep us informed!
 
I would agree with you on that, yet you can never be too sure. There are some greedy people out there. He did that for you? Really? I got no such emails. I was not even aware that i had been shipped two days ago until today. I did not find out through email, rather through the website. But im glad you had such a nice experience! And i will keep you all informed! I am so excited!
 
since it has been shipped max hasnt contacted me but thats understandable since there is nothing to say. tracking in china is slow so it says it is still in china but im hoping it has already left for the US and it will update as soon as it arrives. it feels like forever when your waiting on an item.
