Ebay Laser !

[jake2000n]

Hey!

To get into the whole laser pointer hobby i'm considering picking up a cheap laser on eBay, and not blow a bunch of money on a high quality laser. The pickens are quite slim. I seem to have lucked out being a Canadian, where there are no laser restrictions, but it seems theres only one person selling "high" power lasers. I'm thinking ill start off with a 50mW laser... nothing fancy or expensive. Just a fun toy. I'd like to hear from some more experienced members. Keep in mind i am not willing to drop more than like $30 on this hobby at the moment. The link below is what i'm considering :

I just read the ad, a green laser with a 50mw diode does not even make close to 50mw total output due to losses.
